EIGHT MILE ROCK, Grand Bahama - After 21 years Dr. M. R. Kavala, along with his family, continues to give back to the senior citizens of Grand Bahama. On Thursday, May 12, Dr. Kavala hosted his 21st Annual Luncheon for Senior Citizens on the grounds of St. Stephen’s Anglican Church in Bartlett Hill, Eight Mile Rock. Joining in the celebration was the Member of Parliament for West Grand Bahama and Bimini and, the Hon. Obie Wilchcombe, who saluted Dr. Kavala, saying “Dr. Kavala is a special man, he does not have to do what he is doing.” He continued by saying that through these luncheons Dr. Kavala is showing that in life you must give, and love and Dr. Kavala has demonstrated unconditional love for senior citizens. Also on hand for the occasion were the Minister of Social Services and Community Development, the Hon. Melanie Griffin, along with the Minister for Grand Bahama, the Hon. Dr. Michael Darville. Dr. Kavala came to the island some 33 years ago to help build the healthcare service. He now runs a private clinic but continues to give back through the luncheon calling the senior citizens his heroes. This year some 500 invitations were distributed to the seniors of Grand Bahama. They were serenaded by the legendary Cooling Waters gospel group.
