South Florida Jamaican Alumni Announce The 7th Annual True Blue Event, March 25-27, 2011

Today the joint partnership between four South Florida Jamaican Alumni announced the 7th Annual True Blue Event, March 25th-27th, 2011. The 3-day event is hosted by the St. Andrew Old Girls’ Association Florida Inc., The Convent of Mercy Academy “Alpha” Association, Inc., The St. George’s College Old Boys Association of Florida, Inc. and The Jamaica College Old Boys Association of Florida, Inc.

“We are excited about this year’s True Blue weekend, especially with the addition of a Saturday night True Blue After Party event to the festivities” said Rudy Kameka, Treasurer, St. George’s College Old Boys Association of Florida, Inc.

The True Blue weekend is an expansion from the annual Ziadie Cup soccer match between The St. George’s College Old Boys Association of Florida, Inc. and The Jamaica College Old Boys Association of Florida, Inc.   The annual match is in memory of Dennis Ziadie, who coached both schools to Manning Cup victories. This year will mark the 24th year of the death of Dennis Ziadie in a car crash in Mexico at the 1986 World Cup.  Last year’s match drew over 850 spectators and supporters.

“What the True Blue Event has accomplished in the past 6 years indicates the continued strength of the alumni association in the Jamaican community”  said Mary Ann Raymond, VP & Treasurer,  the St. Andrew Old Girls’ Association Florida Inc.
