Formation of PBC Alumni Association
in the United Kingdom
The Principal of Presentation Brothers College in St George’s, Mr Jeremiah, is anxious to get a UK alumni association up and running for the 60th anniversary celebrations of the college. Dr. Dave Gordon-Smith, a former VSO teacher at the college now resident in the UK, is also trying to collect equipment for the science laboratories and books to replenish the library stocks. He’s arranged concessionary shipping rates with Geestline, but could do with lots of help collecting books and equipment, and packing them for shipment to Grenada.
If you’re resident in the UK, and would like to join the UK branch of PBCAA or help with aid to the college, please contact dave@dg-s.fsnet.co. To activate this e-mail address, just add ‘uk’ after the final dot.

While
much remains to be achieved we cannot overlook what has
been accomplished since our inception and establishment
of this web site. Through membership contributions and the
successful patronage of three annual fund raising events
we have been able to make meaningful contributions to the
Presentation Brothers College as well as other causes in
Grenada. |

September
2002 marked the opening of the new wing to the school premises
and the organization is pleased to say that we have thus
far been able to repay one-third of the line of credit secured
to fund this expansion. A major accomplishment since this
was the main goal set by PBCAA. |
|
|
In
addition to the above accomplishment PBCAA out-fitted two
PBC students who were selected to try-out for the West Indies
“under 19” team and provided the school with state
of the art cricket, track and field and soccer equipment.
Also, to complement the needs of the new General Hospital
in St George’s a donation of medical equipment was made
to the hospital.
|
|
These
accomplishments could not have been attained without your
patronage. PBCAA will continue to repay the outstanding
line of credit and plans to refurbish the chemistry and
physics labs. Your donations toward these projects will
be greatly appreciated and as a 501(c) (3) organization
all donations are tax-deductible. You may make a donation
online by clicking on the "Make a donation" button above or you may mail
your donation to our mailing address listed on this web
site.
