San Fernando mayor praises Fonclaire Steel Orchestra for community loyalty
Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - San Fernando Mayor Junia Regrello has praised the Fonclaire Steel Orchestra for its consistency and loyalty to its community.
The 55-year-old steelband is sponsored by the National Lotteries and Commission Board (NLCB) and launched a lotto centre and gift shop at its Dottin Street headquarters on Monday morning.
Regrello said he believed every steelband in the country should have a lotto centre as it assists with self-sustenance. He recalled requesting one for his own band Skiffle Bunch in 2003 but being told it already had “too many outlets on Coffee Street."
