The Valley Anguilla,11 March 2019 – In an effort to build bridges and foster positive relationships between young boys and their adult counterparts, as well as among the boys themselves, the Optimist Club of Anguilla recently reintroduced one of its old favourites, the Brother 2 Brother Programme. The newest iteration of the Programme focusses on boys in grades 4 - 6 of the island’s primary schools and was held on Saturday 2 March 2019.
Eighteen boys from across the island b...enefitted from the ‘rap session’, where they were matched with men from all walks of life, who were willing to offer guidance and encouragement to the boys. It is hoped that from this initial contact, the foundation of a future supportive relationship for the boys could develop, especially as they enter their teen years. The first session was hosted by the Anguilla Music Academy in Lower South Hill, and ran 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, with lunch provided to all the participants just before wrapping up. The Optimist Club intends to coordinate three sessions per year, scheduled around the mid-term breaks, with the men free to link with their little brothers outside of the structured setting organised by the Club.
Thanks are being extended to the several men who willingly made themselves available to spend the morning with the boys. They include Darius James and James MCKinney of the Anguilla Music Academy, Delano Mussington, Rudy Webster, Neil Gumbs, Jaiden Fleming, Henry Butler and Optimist men Stanley Reid, Jose Vanterpool. Several other men also expressed their interest in participating in the programme going forward including divers, chefs, medical practitioners, contractors, construction workers, and landscaper artists.
The Optimist Club also wishes to thank Roy’s Restaurant, Proctors Supermarket, and Ashley & Sons Supermarket, Mrs Nola Thomas-John and the principals and parents who allowed and encouraged their sons to participate. It is hoped that the community will continue to support the Optimist Club in this and other initiatives as they endeavour to continuously live up to their motto “Bringing out the Best in Children”.

Pampering Our Seniors!
The Valley, Anguilla - 13 February 2019. In a break from their traditional Christmas gift baskets, donated to the residents of the senior citizen homes, members of the Optimist Club of Anguilla decided to spread a little Valentine Cheer this year. The club collaborated with other civic-minded persons, and treated the residents of the Miriam Gumbs Senior Citizens Home, to a ‘Care Day’ on 13 February 2019 - just in time for Valentine’s Day!
Seniors were p...ampered with smart haircuts and shape-ups, compliments Reynaldo Barber Shop in South Hill and Wilmer Barber Shop in Tackling and beautiful hairstyles, provided by Unique Touch in the Quarter. The ladies were also thrilled to receive mani-pedi’s complete with foot massages and brightly coloured nails, done by the lovely ladies at Leah Loc’s in the Valley. In addition to the personal pampering, the residents enjoyed the company of some of the Club’s members who spend the morning with them, showering them with attention and love.
Before leaving the home at noon, Club members enjoyed sparkling cider and cupcakes, generously donated by Mary’s Bakery, with the residents and staff. President of the Optimist Club, Kemoloy Murphy expressed her gratitude to Nurse Corinne and her staff for warmly welcoming her Club members and allowing them to share the morning with the residents. President Kemoloy said ‘it was one of the most fulfilling mornings I have spent in a long time and I wish to thank all who helped to make today so special.”
