EVE Maycock-Dorsett and Donald Pinder emerged as the overall female and male winners of the Macedonia Baptist Church’s annual Family Fun Walk Race.

The event, held on Saturday, was staged as a part of the festivities for the Church’s annual Men’s Anniversary Month. It was held in memory of the late Charles Albury, a former treasurer and past Men’s President of the Church.

His family, led by his wife, Vandamae Albry, his sister, Angela Albury, his daughter, Dr Chavania Albury, and adopted sons, Jamaal, Labron and Lucus, along with other family members, were on hand to support the efforts.

Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. Hartman Nixon, men’s president Rev. Brent Stubbs, secretary Dec. Eric Sweeting and treasurer Dec. Yelverton Williams, presented Dec. Albury with the proceeds from the walk race on Sunday during the divine worship service.

Saturday’s early morning riser took a cross section of Church members and visitors through a course that left the Church grounds on Bernard Road and headed west all the way to the stop light at Soldier Road. The competitors turned around and headed east back to the Church.

While they were waiting for the results to be tallied by chief statistician Ann Thompson, “Downtown” Natasha Brown took the competitors through a series of workout sessions to prepare them for the new year.

Nursing officer Dec. Aleta Rolle, along with Nurses Brittany Brown and Dinae Johnson were also present to provide medical check ups for those interested.

In winning the women’s division, Maycock-Dorsett received a cell phone from BTC, while Pinder was presented with a car stereo from The Hit Spot. Other prizes offered were gift certificates from Kelly’s, phone cards from BTC, gas vouchers from Porky’s and a membership from Empire Fitness.

Among the female winners were Brittany Stubbs, Kizzieanne Butler, Latoya Sturrup, Sarah Burnside and Macedonia and Fox Hill Golden Girl sisters Lavern and Beryl Eve, who both were home from the United States for the Christmas holiday.

As for the men, the list included Labron Minnis, Fredderick Williams Jr, Rev. Denero Rahming, Bryan Johnson, Christopher Johnson, Felix Rolle, Michael Dillet, Lucas Miller, Augustin Mott, Donato Adderlery and Aiden Simmons.

Sponsorship for the event was provided by Global Sun, Philip Simon, BTC, Kelly’s, Gatorade, Member of Parliament for Fox Hill Fred Mitchell, Tony Gardiner and Ronesto and Helena Riley and The Hot Spot.
