Hi-Lo is 25!
One of the island's leading supermarket chains, Hi-Lo Food Stores, has been celebrating a significant milestone. It's been a quarter century since the doors of the first one opened under the GraceKennedy brand, and Jamaicans have been getting great quality ever since.

A merry wedding
As if Christmas isn't already a festive time of year, Dwight and Rose Marie Rumble decided to make it even more so.

Total satisfaction
Godfrey Dyer, the man with the Midas touch, and his wife, Odette, are already turning around the fortunes of the Total service station in Ironshore, St James, after acquiring it only 12 weeks ago.

Doctor's advice - Am I a lesbian?
Doctor, I am a 32-year-old university graduate. I am planning to get married in 2010, to a man I have known since childhood. You may find this surprising, but we have not had sex. However, when I lived in the United States, I did have brief affairs with several men, so I am not a virgin.

Mamby-Alexander in Nigeria
Dr Jennifer Mamby-Alexander was recently invited by The Stop Cancer Foundation in Abuja, Nigeria, to be the guest speaker at its fund-raising Gala Night. The event took place at The Yar'Adua Centre and was planned to raise five million naira (Nigerian currency)...

Lunch insured
The Insurance Association of Jamaica had its annual Christmas luncheon at the Hilton Kingston hotel on Wednesday, December 16. Here are some highlights.

The 'evolution' is here
The super all-inclusive party of the season, Os.mo.sis Evolution, held at The Stables, Caymanas Estate, on Friday, December 18, can be summed up in two words: super fabulous! Organisers, Mad Circle, outdid themselves and took the party to new heights. It was red carpet treatment non-stop, from the welcome drinks to the photo opportunities (Hollywood style), the relaxing lounge areas to the snazzy dance floor.

Farewell, Chris!
Noted attorney Chris Bovell can now put up his feet ... at least with regard to FirstCaribbean International Bank (FCIB). The team at FCIB hosted a quaint send-off for the former director on Thursday, December 17 at The Jamaica Pegasus, newest 'suite', the Coconut Gardens (on the lawns adjacent to the main parking lot's entrance).

Madrigal dinner
The final event for the year of activities put on by the American Women's Group (AWG) was the Madrigal dinner, hosted by Tamara Hill at her Cherry Gardens, St Andrew, home on Thursday, December 16. All the members contributed items for the much-anticipated dinner and went all out to sell tickets for the event.

Round Hill boutique gets new look
It was easily one of the most anticipated events out west. Katrin Casserly is known and celebrated as a woman of fine style and impeccable fashion, so when news hit the social avenues and boulevards that she would be assuming proprietorship of the trés chic Gift Shop and Boutique at Round Hill Hotel and Villas near Montego Bay, fab society was in one accord in its endorsement of the move!
