In an effort to encourage networking between successful businessmen and businesswomen, motivated creators and dreamers investing Lucia ISL hosted a St. Lucia Entrepreneurs Meetup 2019. The event which was being held under the theme, doing what you love and being successful doing it, Ingredients for Success, is a precursor to a broader program currently being finalised by ISL, namely the Business Incubator and Accelerator program. The St. Lucia Entrepreneurs Meetup 2019 included a panel discussion with three St. Lucia entrepreneurs namely Media Novel, Henson Hunt and Ian Mitchell. Cohen Caesar, owner of Just Right, a creative writing solution, stated that the meetup allowed him as a new business owner to network and advertise his trade. The St. Lucia Entrepreneurs Meetup 2019 was held at the Pink Papaya restaurant in Point Seraphine on Monday, September 2nd, 2019. On the Feast of St. Rose of Lemurs, scores of individuals also referred to as roses made their way to the Church of St. Rose de Lemurs in Moshi, all the wild chanting songs that praised the roses and taunted the maggots their traditional flower rivals. The procession consisted of members from various communities, each group with its own band. The groups all adorned in the customs of pinks, reds and whites and consisted of a king and queen, prince and princess, doctor, magistrate, policemen, nurses and soldiers. Following the Church service, the roses proceeded to partake in the grand fete where they put on a display of song and dance. Senior Events and Production Officer of the Cultural Development Foundation, Tyrone Harris, noted that the increase in funding provided by the government of St. Lucia has assisted greatly in ensuring that there is proper structure within groups and that there is costume development. A number of groups participated in the festival, including the Belvi, Deriso, Olio, Grand Riviera, Denri, Monripo, Labri and Moshi Lauer's groups. A comprehensive strategy aimed at revitalizing the apiary industry has been launched in order to harvest the benefits of the market demand for honey. With assistance from Compete Caribbean through its cluster development project, experts in Lucia and the Ministry of Agriculture have initiated a plan to develop and grow the industry. Apiculture, more commonly known as bee keeping, is the maintenance of bee colonies mostly in man-made hives. The honey produced is harvested and used by various sectors including food and beverage, cosmetics and health and wellness. Beekeepers and cooperatives say they are eager to get the ball rolling on the implementation of the cluster development project and look forward to the successes which will be derived from the project.
