The BPWC association also welcomed two new members, Ms. Aida Holaman and Ms. Sophia
Carti, whose extensive experience in organizational leadership and community service
strengthens BPWC’s mission.
The event was skillfully chaired by Suzanne Scantlebery, supported by committee members
Danielle Chance-Glasgow, Sophia Carti, Cathy Questel-Gamiette, Treasurer Emelinda Lake,
Secretary Sharanne Gibbs, Vice President of Membership Kathia Magdeleine, and President
Catherine Magdeleine.
Educator and therapist Mrs. Collette Jones Chin delivered an inspiring keynote address,
reflecting on the importance of nurturing meaningful relationships and “keeping the flames
burning” in the face of life’s challenges. Mrs. Chin engaged the audience with a heartfelt blend
of words, song, and poetry, and also shared some of her challenges and coping mechanisms she
uses to keep her flame burning.
The evening’s atmosphere was enhanced by the melodious performance of Lady Rubia, whose
captivating voice resonated deeply with all in attendance.

BPWC President Catherine Magdeleine expressed gratitude, stating, “There is no greater joy
than to thank our members, guests, family, and friends for making this event a success. Together,
we continue to keep the flames burning.”
