Priorities: Royalty Court - Queen and King candidates are an essential part of the program, and we are asking all interested youth to contact me to discuss the prospect of participating in the Royalty Court.  I understand this is a big commitment, and there are a lot of questions to be asked.  I will work hard to provide clear and concise answers to the best of my ability.  Please email me at Jamaica.smvl@gmail.com.

Breakfast Volunteers: We are also in need of breakfast volunteers to put on the “best breakfast on Sunday”.  We have reserved the 3rd Sunday of each month for breakfast and hope to get many volunteers in order to make the work easier for all.  Please email me at Jamaica.smvl@gmail.com.
