The East Grove Sisters (EGS) will host its fund-raising all-inclusive Carnival fete on Valentine's Day at 132 Greenland Avenue, Tacarigua. In its fifth consecutive year, Roy Cape All Stars, DJ Crosby Sounds and two guest artistes will entertain the targeted 800 patrons. EGS is a charitable community group based in Tacarigua and has been in operation for the last ten years. Its objective is to assist people who are less fortunate. According to group spokesman Anselma Rodriguez-James, "Over the years the group has been involved in a number of charitable ventures around Trinidad.
"We have distributed gifts to the sick children at the Mount Hope Children's Hospital, gifts and hampers to homes for the aged in San Fernando and Curepe, and food hampers and clothing to families in the St Joseph, Salybia/Matura and Blanchisseuse communities. "Each year, East Grove Sisters strives to advance in its mission to assist the less fortunate especially during the Christmas season. We host a number of fund-raising events throughout the year to help us in becoming a more sustainable group. These events include an annual breakfast sale, annual Carnival all-inclusive fete, curry-cue and raffle.
