Thursday, January 08, 2004 - The National Independence Charity Golf
Tournament is set for Saturday 21st February 2004.. The tournament now into its
tenth year is part of the year long activities to mark the 25th anniversary of
St. Lucia’s Independence. The Charity Golf Tournament is a project of the
Gros-Islet Lions Club. Chairman of the organising committee Gregory Monplaisir
says the tournament is the premier revenue earner to finance projects in the
north.
Among the projects undertaken by the service club are the upgrading of schools,
scholarships for secondary school students and the provision of food packages
and meals for the poor. Monplaisir says this milestone is not only
recognition of the work of the club but also the contribution of the many
business persons who have supported over the years.
Teams taking part in the tournament are sponsored by the business community.
The organisers are hoping for wider participation especially this anniversary
year and in particular as St. Lucia celebrates 25 years of development.
