On Wednesday, Republic Bank Dominica joined the Discover Dominica Authority(DDA) in its weekly press conference ahead of Carnival celebrations in February, to officially announce its sponsorship of one of the contestants in the Miss Dominica pageant.
Republic Bank EC Ltd is the official sponsor of Miss Tarnia Eugene, 22 year old, of Grandbay.
Service and Support Manager at Republic Bank Dominica, Kasia John, said that the bank understands what carnival means to the people of Dominica, hence the reason for this sponsorship.
According to her, the bank is committed to assist young people through education, culture, health and sports.
She added, “Pageantry has always been an excellent avenue for young persons to express themselves, build confidence, build character, and enhance their general self esteem and awareness. With this known fact, Republic Bank is proud to be one of the enablers to make it happen”.
John had words of encouragement for the contestants in this year’s Miss Dominica pageant.
“We encourage you to bring out your A-game and remember, you don’t necessarily have to place first to win. While winning gives a good feeling, and it is important to do your best, ensure that you take in the learning and self development along the journey.”
John continued, “Republic Bank’s sense of community spirit remains robust and assured. We stand firm and ready to work with all stakeholders on the island of Dominica to make a difference in our communities. At Republic Bank, we value people, we serve with our hearts, we are deeply committed to your success. We care”.
Miss Republic Bank Tarnia Eugene said that she is elated and proud to have gained the support of Republic Bank Ltd.
“Thank you for your vote of confidence in me. Thank you for pledging your support to me. I will do my utmost to represent you to the best of my abilities. I will capture the title of Miss Dominica 2023. Thank you once again.” Event Assistant at the DDA, Kerwin Jno.Baptiste, said that the Miss Dominica Pageant celebrates the value of Dominican women in the development and preservation of culture. He said that this sponsorship is the third so far as Sandrine Elize was already sashed as Miss National Bank of Dominica and Meeya Francis as Miss Convenience Plus and Miss De Contruction Solutions Ltd.
