On October 24, 2008, Jamaica National Building Society in collaboration with the Association of Jamaican Potters held a wealth creation roundtable, entitled ‘Save & Invest For A Better Jamaica’, at The Hilton, New York, in New York City.
According to Earl Jarrett, General Manager, Jamaica National Building Society is committed and dedicated to its customers and has been doing all it can to help and support small businesses in their quest for capital to attain success. To help make this point, Jamaica National Building Society collaborated with the Jamaican Association of Potters, who they have been working with to achieve success. Two members from the Association of Jamaica Potters were in attendance, Vilya Thomas and Margaret McGhie. They showcased very beautiful and impressive pottery pieces from members of the Association of Jamaican Potters, including pieces that they created.
Jamaica National Building Society is Jamaica’s third largest financial institution and is one of Jamaica’s oldest and finest. We here at Bonita Jamaica do not give financial and/or investment advice, but according to Earl Jarrett, Jamaica National Building Society is a solid financial institution and is great to do business with. So Mr. Barrett is asking Jamaica and non-Jamaicans all over the world to keep Jamaica National Building Society in mind for future financial services.
The event was intimate and rich in good financial information about current developments in Jamaica and in the global arena. Guests also got a chance to meet Vilya Thomas and Margaret McGhie, two of Jamaica’s most talented potters. Before the evening was over, we learned that pottery is a highly sophisticated art form that requires insurmountable skill, patience, discipline, and dedication. We also learned that pieces from Cecil Baugh, Jamaica’s ‘master potter’, are owned by the Queen of England (on display in Buckingham Palace) and by Nelson Mandela.
Dignitaries in attendance included Geneive Brown, Jamaica’s Consul General to New York City, and Una Clarke, former Brooklyn Councilwoman.
