After children’s Christmas party, RIC plans fund raising brunch

It was an afternoon of good cheer, fun and frolic for the children of the city of Roseau, when the Roseau Improvement Committee (RIC) for the first time, moved its annual children’s Christmas party to the beautiful Roseau Botanic Gardens, in the afternoon of Christmas day.

Going for over more than two decades, the RIC’s Christmas Party which was usually held in the Waterfront and Allied Workers Union Hall on Hillsborough Street, and always in the afternoon of Christmas day itself, has become a Christmas tradition in Roseau, and is much anticipated by children and parents alike.

Said RIC Patron Norris Prevost, “The move to hold the annual RIC Children’s Christmas Party in the Botanic Gardens, created the opportunity for the children to have a lot more fun, and to appreciate the outdoors. It allowed RIC to introduce such fun activities as ‘Bouncing Castle and rides on the Chu-Chu train.  Over 150 children were treated to fun rides on the ‘Chu-chu’ train, bouncing castle’, snacks and drinks.

Attending the party with the children were the new Roseau Central MP  Joseph Isaac, Roseau North MP Danny Lugay, and Roseau South MP Joshua Francis. The children really enjoyed their Christmas day afternoon.”

RIC Inc is a registered non-profit, non-government organisation (NGO), operating since 1989, under the Patronage of former Roseau MP, Hon. Norris Prevost. In addition to its annual Children’s Christmas Party, RIC Inc. also organises a Mother’s Day lunch for the mothers of Roseau, and  lunch for some 70 of the needy and homeless of the city, every Sunday.
