This was such an Honor!

At our Annual Mother’s Day Celebration and 50th Anniversary Observation, held on 5/8/22, Congresswoman Yvette Clarke presented TEXPO with a Proclamation for our 50 years of outstanding community service. President, Mr. Gilbert Sampson, accepted.

TEXPO also recognized the sterling contribution of seven (7) individuals by awarding them Lifetime Achievement Awards for their unwavering support of our organization and / or the West Indian - American Community:
Mr. Hugh Baird (5269)Founding Member; Ms. Lois Green-Clarke (5381) Founding Member (posthumously). Daughter, Haidee Clarke accepted; Dr. Jean Leon, (T&T Nurses); Mr. Berold Hinds (TATUCA); Mr. Hilton Samuel; Ms. Wilma Baird & Mr. Michael George (Sweet Needle Scobie).

We awarded Scholarship Grants to Ms. Hannah Thomas, student at Howard University & Mr. Morgan De Riggs, student at Albany College of Pharmacy.

Ms. Lisa Bates was crowned TEXPO’s Mother of the Year 2022.

Consul General, Mr. J. Andre Laveau, accompanied by his wife Hayley, Deputy Consul General, Ms. Mary Tang-Yew and Ms Gail Lowe-Roberts, Consulate staff member attended also, Mr. Orlando Ross of Congresswoman Clarke’s office.

Entertainment was provided by Mr. Mervyn Carter (5975) aka Dr. Witty and Ms. Haidy Hoyle (Trini Sugar). Mr. David Ravaro (12907) aka DJ Okie Dokie supplied music.

We are pleased that so many people are interested in being a part of our site.
You may also think that approvals should be quicker but a vetting process must be done:

1. Because our group is registered as a “nonprofit” entity we are restricted, by the State of NY, in some things we can do. (as an organization we cannot endorse political candidates or use our medium to do so: as individuals we can on our personal page). Therefore we ask that posts conform to that stipulation.

2. Membership should be limited to current or former Police Officers (officers meaning anyone who serves / served) in TTPS.

3. The profiles of many applicants show no information. Therefore, a check of their personal Facebook profile will be done (this has been helpful in some situations but, if nothing is revealed from that source, approval will not be granted).

Question:
Members of TEXPO pay Annual Dues of $120.00 ($10.00 monthly). Some of this revenue goes towards maintenance (property tax, insurance, utilities) of our building, owned and operated by us.
WILL NEW MEMBERS BE WILLING TO PAY DUES?
We await responses.

Trinidad and Tobago Woman Police Officer, Anessa Douglas, in tactical gear! Makes me so proud as she’s also part of my family.
We pray that she especially, and her fellow officers, are always protected by God’s Holy Angels.

Gone are the days when WP Officers did school patrol, investigations involving women and children and charge room duty only!
