The MCS committee would like to thank all those who helped make the St Patrick’s Indian Curry Night on 26th March 2016 such a success.
Special thanks to the Governor, HE Elizabeth Carriere, for not only her kind words of support and encouragement but also for the use of Government House.The MCS also thanks the Governor’s Office New Year’s festival troupe for donating a cheque for $500.
