The JC McDonald Home for the Aged, San Fernando held its fund-raising dinner on December 4 at Paria Suites, La Romaine. The dinner was to raise funds for the home as we run on charity. It was our major fund-raiser, but unfortunately it did not have the turnout we had hoped for.
"We made enough to cover our expenses so we were grateful for what we made that evening. We did not have much speeches, it was a dinner where people socialised and enjoyed themselves," said Moonilal Pagee, the home's director.
Music was provided by DJ Curtis Mohammed. Door prizes included breakfast for two courtesy of Paria suites; a vase donated by a supporter of the home; a gift voucher courtesy of Sacha Cosmetics; a painting donated by another well-wisher; and a cruise for two to Aruba and Curacao worth $10,000 courtesy of Boodram Tours and Ship Ahoy Cruises.
