Glorious trip for Grow Well’s Youth Team winners of Rotary Golf Tournament
Keymanie Thomas, Samuel Richelieu and Lisa Daniel, accompanied by Grow Well Board Member Tracey Arnold, are on their way to Trinidad. Rotary Gros Islet’s Joel Crocker sees them off with pride and last minute instructions (see Headline Photo above).
The Grow Well youth team were the surprising and popular winners of this year’s prestigious Rotary Golf Tournament — the first time ever a team of juniors won the tournament.
Their biggest Rotary prize was a trip to Trinidad where they will play on Sunday March 31st in the Rotary Club of Port of Spain West’s annual tournament at St. Andrew’s Golf Club (Moka).
Grow Well congratulates our junior golfers and thanks the collaborative efforts of the of Rotary Clubs of Gros Islet and Port of Spain West.
What a fabulous sports prize!
The sequel to this note is that the junior pair of Keymanie and Samuel, placed 6th out of 48 teams competing in the tournament in Trinidad over the week end! What a fabulous result for these two young men, aged 15 and 17 years old! What a tremendous testament not only to the young men but to the coaches and mentors involved in the Grow Well junior golf programme.
The Rotary Club of Gros Islet, the founders of Grow Well, salute the hard working volunteers (all non-Rotarians) who have made this programme one of the most successful youth programmes in Saint Lucia. Congratulations to Colleen Newman and her fellow board members at this outstanding success.
