Special thanks to Mr. Jose Griñan, news anchor for FOX 26 KRIV, our Master of Ceremonies (MC) for the Jamaica 60 gala. We were grateful for Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee who presented us with a Certificate of Congressional Recognition on behalf of the constituents of the 18th Congressional District of Texas. We were also honored to have Catherine King with the Office of Harris County Precinct 4 Commissioner R. Jack Cagle present the Jamaica Foundation of Houston with a Proclamation in Honor of Jamaica’s 60th Year of Independence! Our event was also accented by the Consul General for Jamaica – Miami, R.
