Charming Emily Verde was
officially crowned Miss San Pedro Lions 2003-2004 last Saturday at a
special coronation ceremony held at the Lions Den.
Performing as Master of Ceremonies for the event was
San Pedro Lions President Francisco Verde who welcomed the congregation
present for this grand occasion.
Throughout the evening the public was entertained by the
talented dancers of Barbara's Dance Group and the San Pedro Dance
Company. A special presentation then followed featuring the 2002-2003
Belize Lions Zone 59 Queen Sherima Usher from Dangriga, who was
accompanied by her sister Taryn.
When the awaited moment arrived, the
reigning Miss San Pedro Lions Queen Debbie Graniel illuminated the stage
with her presence. In her farewell speech Debbie thanked the San Pedro
Lions Club for giving her the opportunity to represent their club both
nationally and internationally. She continued saying that the experience
had been very enjoyable and educational as she had the opportunity to
meet with many dignitaries and make many friends.
