The St John’s Rural West Branch of the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party hosted a special appreciation luncheon this week, celebrating over sixty of its most dedicated long-term supporters. The event served as a formal recognition ceremony for community members whose sustained loyalty and voluntary efforts have significantly contributed to the constituency’s political work across multiple decades.
Branch officials characterized the gathering as both a heartfelt tribute and a strategic initiative to honor those who have fundamentally shaped the area’s developmental trajectory. According to organizers, these individuals have not only ‘paved the way’ through their unwavering commitment but have also established a strong foundation for the party’s ongoing community engagement efforts.
Attendee Carol Bird expressed appreciation for the recognition, commending branch leadership for what she described as a profoundly meaningful gesture. ‘This reflects the strength of our team and the dedication of our supporters,’ Bird remarked, highlighting the symbiotic relationship between the party and its grassroots base.
Beyond commemorating historical contributions, organizers clarified that the luncheon was designed to reinforce collective unity and strengthen organizational cohesion. The event represents part of a broader strategy to maintain active engagement with community stakeholders while advancing the branch’s ongoing initiatives throughout the St John’s Rural West constituency.
