A number of high school and college graduates were also recognized with awards, as they embarked on the next stage of their academic journeys.
The brilliant BOSS and his Horsepower Band provided the entertainment for the evening, and he kept the audience on their feet until the early hours of the morning. A special raffle for a four day/three night stay, courtesy of the fabulous Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts Anguilla, was another high point of the evening.
