What's Happening - March 5, 2023

 SpotOn

Donnovan Reid
Banker and Entertainer

Monday, March 6, 2023, will be a day to remember on SpotOn on Riddim FM. SpotOn is aired Monday through to Friday from 1000 to 1300 EST each day. Donnovan Reid will on Be My Guest and he will tell his intriguing, fascinating, and touching story - the story of a man who with sheer determination and a mind of steel, has been able to survive against all odds. He did not know his mother until later on in life, and he tried his best to meet his father, but it was not to be. This is a story which will start a fire in those of us who feel like giving up, when the odds are against us. Don is a banker, and an established entertainer. I must commend all those who have supported him especially the management and staff of NCB. 

Donnovan is also a very creative actor and his online fans have been captivated by the skits which he posts online.

Don Reid's Music:

• Courts
• Mek Wi Dweet
• I Know Who I Am

Thanks to Ms Marcia Bolt at the Ministry of Labour and Social Security for assisting me in dealing with a matter affecting a pensioner.

Lottery

Councillor Mark McGann

I am still waiting to hear from Councillor Mark McGann who represents the Somerton Division in St. James.  He will update me about the condition of the playfield at Lottery. Residents have complained that work needs to be done on the playing field, so that the young people can have somewhere to participate in recreational activities.

The councillor could possible organize the young people in the area to assist in maintaining the field. If you are from the area, let me know what you think. Send your voicemails to (876) 816-5261.
