Mrs Kathy Kirkconnell, wife of the Honourable Deputy Premiere, flipped the light switch to start a light show bringing in Christmas to the Sister Islands. This 33rd Annual Tree lighting ceremony was held on the lawns of the District Administration Building on Monday December 1st 2014 and was supported by the Ministry of District Administration, Tourism and Transport, Cayman Brac Power and Light and Hon Deputy Premiere Mr Moses Kirkconnell.
This light show was preceded by special greetings from the President of the Club, Mr Dhallchand Seeram, manager of Power and Light Mr Jonathan Tibbetts , Deputy District Commissioner Mr Mark Tibbetts who brought greetings on behalf of the Ministry of District Administration, and Mrs Kathy Kirkconnell on behalf of her husband and family.

The lawns and skies at District Administration were beautifully lit. The rich aroma from cooked food, cotton candies and cookies filled the air and everyone was having a good time when the loud sound of the siren from the Ambulance got them distracted. Maybe this ambulance was bringing Santa who got injured enroute to the Brac because it was past the time for him to arrive. Majority of adults and kids rushed towards the ambulance but Santa tricked them again and came walking from the opposite direction bringing gifts and greetings with HO! HO! HO! All children from birth to grade 6 received gifts from Santa and got their photos taken especially those meeting Santa for the first time.
It was indeed a beautiful evening and the Rotary Club would like to thank everyone who made this event another big success to Light Up Rotary and the Sister Islands.
