You could not have offered to serve and to lead this Club at a more demanding time, but I am confident that at the end of your term you and our club will have made a significant contribution to the well-being of our fellow citizens. Let me also congratulate Sonya Alleyne.
Your pending elevation to the role of District Governor is indeed a personal honour for you and an honour for the club. It is all the more significant because you are the first female in Barbados to attain this prestigious office. For the past six months we, as a nation, have had to confront the many challenges that COVID19 presented.
