LEGACY LAUNCHES PASSAGES FOR 2008
Saturday October 13th saw the launch of Legacy’s presentation for Carnival 2008, “Passages – a Journey through the Motherland”. Due mainly to their overseas summer commitments Legacy was the last of the large bands to launch, but from the attendance at Saturday’s event, it seems that this was the perfect time.
LEGACY CHARITY FUN DAY

SUPPORTS BODY-BUILDING CLASSIC
In May 2006, Legacy once again showed its support for the sport of
Body-Building through sponsorship of the Bio-Fitness Body-Building
Classic which was held at the Centre of Excellence. This year’s classic
featured the famous eight-time Mr. Olympia Champion Ronnie Coleman as
guest poser. As a former Mr. Trinidad and Tobago body-building Champion,
Legacy Bandleader Big Mike has always actively supported the sport in
Trinidad and Tobago.
LEGACY CHRISTMAS PARTY
Legacy held its annual Christmas Staff Party on December 18th 2006 at
the scenic Tsunami Beach Club in Chaguaramas. It was attended by
Legacy’s staff, Phoenix Youth Committee and models. Beautifully strung
Christmas lights and decorations set a festive ambiance which, together
with a sumptuous meal, well-stocked bar, great music and dancing made
for a memorable evening which lasted past 2:00 o’clock the following
morning.
LEGACY CHRISTMAS CHARITY
The Legacy Phoenix Youth Committee headed by Bandleaders “Big Mike”
Antoine and Juliet de la Bastide shared in the Christmas spirit of
giving with the children of two homes in Trinidad. In December we
visited the Christ Child Convalescent Home in Diego Martin for the third
consecutive year. Each child was presented with a Christmas present and
we spent time talking with them and playing with their gifts. A
microwave oven was also presented to the care-givers who had previously
indicated a need for this item. The Committee also visited the Amica
Home in St. Augustine for the second time, bearing gifts as well as
refreshments for the kids. Once again, we spent time with the children
who remembered us well from the previous year and who even put on a
“mini-concert” for us. We were also able to donate an outdoor TV antenna
to the home.
These were truly two memorable evenings, both for the children and for the Phoenix Youth Committee and we are truly appreciative to the many organizations and individuals who contributed and without whom this would not have been possible.
