This, he said, as he delivered an address to the nation in keeping with Credit Union Week 2019, Oct. 13th to the 19th 2019. The 9th annual Melvin Edwards Excellence Awards Ceremony, was held today Wednesday Oct. 16th.
According to Minister Hamilton, 1st Place Winner was Alisha Jalim of Saddlers Primary School; 2nd Place Winner was Hannah Williams of the Seventh-Day Adventist Primary School and 3rd Place Winner was Tahlise Connor of St. Paul’s Primary School.
