The Sandys South branch of the Bermuda Progressive Labour Party is today thanking the constituents of 33 for their massive show of support for their “Feed the Family” event held at the Somers Isles Lodge on Sunday.

Jamahl Simmons, the PLP Constituency 33 candidate Jamahl Simmons said: “The turnout for this event was outstanding and we are grateful not only to the volunteers and donors who made this event possible, but to the families of Constituency 33 whose participation made this event such a resounding success.”

With a menu that included fried fish, jerk chicken, barbecued ribs, coleslaw and garden salad, more than 300 plates were served to constituents of Sandys South.

“We believe that every once in a while, it is nice to give families a night off from cooking and an opportunity to enjoy fellowship with our neighbours,” Mr Simmons added. “Based on the extremely positive response and turnout, we believe that this can and should become a semi-regular event.”

The by-election to fill the seat vacated by former Terry Lister, the former Independent MP, is set for tomorrow at the Somers Isles Lodge on Hog Bay Level from 8am to 8pm.
