Denise Charles-Pemberton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Parliamentary Representative of the Soufriere Constituency, Denise Charles-Pemberton, has promised a bigger and better reunion for that constituency at its next celebration.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the closing ceremony of the Scottshead\/Soufriere\/Gallion Reunion 2025, Charles-Pemberton emphasized the importance of expanding future events to include the entire St. Mark community. She noted that some residents of Soufriere and Gallion had felt excluded from this year\u2019s festivities.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext time, let us do it for the entire St Mark\u2014Soufriere, Gallion, and Scottshead\u2014because the people in Soufriere and Gallion felt a little left out and we don’t want anybody to feel left out,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Charles-Pemberton announced plans to increase community involvement in the next reunion, aiming to draw hundreds of returning participants to foster connection and development in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want it to be bigger, we want it to be better\u2026 So we will have hundreds of people returning back, to give back, to socialize, reconnect and continue the development of this beautiful village,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

She also encouraged members of the constituency to recognize one another\u2019s contributions, stressing the importance of unity and mutual support.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we do not honor each other, if we don\u2019t exalt each other, if we do not celebrate the best of each other and bring each other up, then it will turn into nothing\u2014because it takes people to build a village.\u201d<\/p>\n

In closing, Charles-Pemberton thanked the reunion committee and reinforced her vision for the next celebration, scheduled two years from now.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us continue to work together as one community\u2026 Good work reunion committee\u2014and the next two years, as I said, we will be bigger and better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Activities for the Scotts Head Reunion, held between June 27 and July 6, included among other others, a History Night, a Belle Marche, a beach clean-up, an awards ceremony and the opening of a bus stop work on which was completed during the celebrations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Parliamentary Representative of the Soufriere Constituency, Denise Charles-Pemberton, has promised a bigger and better reunion for that constituency at its next celebration.
