WIA Hosting Benefits For Caribbean Flood Relief

The West Indian Association of Bermuda [WIA] is getting set to host two upcoming benefit parties, both intended to raise money for ongoing flood relief efforts in the Caribbean.

Flooding and landslides caused by heavy rains killed at least 18 people in the Caribbean last month, according to a report, leaving many more displaced.

In a heavily hit area in northwestern St. Vincent, a family of five was killed when another house was swept into their home. In another incident, a police officer was killed when a wall collapsed on him as he attempted to rescue people caught in the floods.

First up will be a New Year’s Dinner and Dance, dubbed “An Evening of Caribbean Flavor,” on Friday, January 31.

Taking place at Riddell’s Bay Golf and Country Club, the party will get started at 7.00pm with cocktails, with dinner and in-house entertainment taking place at 8.00pm. After dinner, all guests are encouraged to dance through 1.00am when the event ends.

Admission to “An Evening of Caribbean Flavor” will cost $100 per person, with partial proceeds to be donated to charity.

The second WIA event will be a Caribbean-themed Valentine’s Night celebration to take place on Friday, February 14 at the Police Recreation Club.

The party will get started at 9.00pm, with tickets costing $30 each; partial proceeds from this event will also be donated to charity.

Tickets are available from all members of the WIA Executive.
