On Saturday March 29, 2008, the Directors of the Governor General’s Children’s Welfare Fund put the FUN into FUNd Raising as they held their annual Grand Tea Party at Government House. Over 200 guests attending the sold out event enjoyed a fun filled afternoon of tea, sandwiches, sweet cakes and interesting entertainment.
The program included a dance recital by Rebecca Hadaway, a pan number by Kenny Isles, son of the well known Vincentian pan musician Ken Isles, a magic show by Villa Lodge’s Tom Hootsbra, a Chinese auction conducted by Kenny Durant and a fantastic fashion show of Spring hats created by Jean Johnney-Findlay Managing Director of Mije´ Personal Development and Advertising Agency.
The ages of the 15 attractive, sophisticated young women modeling the hats were six to ten years: They were all students of Mije´ Models of St. Vincent and were trained by Jean Johnney-Findlay and Jodine Jackson (who is a former Mije´ Models student.
Lady Ballantyne, wife of His Excellency, Sir Frederick Ballantyne Governor General of St. Vincent & the Grenadines, told the Vincentian that she was very pleased with the success of this year’s event and while receipts had not been tallied, the revenue would go a long way towards meeting the Governor General’s Children’s Welfare Fund’s $20,000 goal for 2008.
