A total of twelve lucrative prizes were at stake and indeed twelve persons are well off for having participated in the fund raising venture. The other 9 lucky players are: David R Bacchus (overnight trip for two to Baganara Resorts); Abdool & Abdool Insurance (one bird phone); Dr Mangru ($20,000 worth of books compliments of Austin’s Book Store); Henry Rahaman (MP3 Player); Myron Debarros (DVD Player); Glen Hanoman (one food hamper); Veneva Heywood (dinner for two at Windjammer Hotel and Restaurant); Mortimer Richards (one pressure cooker) and Davindra Persaud (one trapper keeper).
