On the 27th February 2012, 20 Mausicans met at "Paraiso" a mini-paradise owned by Gerard Narinesingh located just off Claxton Bay.  This was a meeting to begin the conversation about the 50th Anniversary Reunion.  There were Local Trinis and Foreign Trinis who were here for d 'mas.  Brenda Alexander; Mennen Walker-Briggs; Joan Parris-Brathwaite; Cuthbert Matthews; Claudina Cudjoe; Clare Creese; Woodley; Finbar Ryan; Angela McAlister; Claudia Taylor; Jemma Jordan; Carol Reveillac; Ajodha Sookhoo; Errol Lashley; Monty Chapman; Fareeda Chapman; Conrad Thomas; Terrance Walker; June Raphael Martin; Winston Yallery-Arthur; Yvonne Pilgrim; Anna Maria Mora; Gerard Narinesingh. (Felix Edinborough sent his apologies: he was really saddened at not being able to attend).

Gerard was so happy to have us.  I think that it was divine intervention that I met Gerard when I did. The meeting began with a prayer and the first order of business was settling the dates.  THE DATES FOR THE MAUSICA REUNION IN 2013 :

JULY 19TH - 26TH 2013-- WITH THREE OF THOSE DAYS IN TOBAGO. We need to touch base with Tobago to finalise those three days. Tentatively we have Sunday 21st - to return on Wednesday 24th.  We are thinking that we would like to get in the "Ole Time Wedding" in Moriah.  Tobago to advise.

Other suggestions to be worked out by the committee:  Educational Workshop; a Day at the Mausica Compound; The History of Mausica, which was never written (Ithree names in the mix for this are Joy Valdez, Linda Romain and Pat Allum Ryan);  A Supplement in one of the weekend newspapers; Adopt a School;

We must also try as much as possible to get in touch with lecturers and workers who were with us through the years.

Bernice Warrick Tarradath has agreed to be our lliason in New York

Brenda Perez-Alexander, our lliason in Canada

Megan Welch, our lliason in Grenada

Of course we have Elinor King, Jasper Joefield, Alan Clovis and Eastlyn Mckenzie in Tobago

Joan Brathwaite (South) and Anna Maria Mora (Nor'East)  Jemma Jordan (West)

The food was delicious and catered.  All who attended made a contribution to the catering and more, so we were able to keep our $$ made at the Christmas get-together. Thank you so much Joan for getting the caterer.

Gerard has offered his "estate" to us anytime that we need it. Thank you so much, Gerard.

Brenda sent the pics. for you to get a real feel for the joy and camaraderie.  We will continue to update you as we continue our meetings to finalise all the details.
