A round of applause

Here’s what happened yesterday afternoon when the Jamaica Observer’s Managing Director Danville Walker hosted 20 children aged 8-12 around an impressive looking boardroom table, complete with fine china, linen and crystal glasses, name and menu cards and heavy silverware.

Walker left the cooking to award-winning chef Brian Lumley with Celeste Gordon and Siri Brown providing the sweet treats. He asked Salut! partners, The Best Dressed Chicken CEO, Christopher Levy; and Divisional Sales & Marketing Manager Best Dressed Foods, Joan Forrest-Henry; GM Victoria Mutual Wealth Management Devon Barrett; Karlene Mullings, manager of sales and client relations at Victoria Mutual Wealth and Jamaica Observer executive team members to Applaud It!
