In response to a request from the National President, Mrs. Julia Duncan Cassell, Trenton chapter’s President, Mr. John D.

In response, the National President, Julia Duncan Cassell, thanked the Trenton chapter for the donation and assistance and stated that this was the second time that the chapter has fulfilled promises made. She recounted that in January 2011, the chapter sent $700.00 to assist with the champing of the team for the CAF match against Nigeria. She made a passionate appeal to the leadership and members of the Trenton chapter to take the lead in fostering peace within Barrolle. She said “someone has to be the bigger person when there are disputes within an organization and I am appealing to this chapter to lead that effort.” She received rousing applause from the audience.

Also, making a presentation was Mr. D. Zeogar Wilson, former president of the Trenton chapter. He presented two sets of jerseys, one for the soccer team and the other for the Basketball team on behalf of the Atlanta Georgia Chapter of Mighty Barrolle Sports Association headed by Mr. Joseph Reeves who could not be present because of other engagements.

In remarks, the president of Invincible Eleven, Mr. Abu Zoeduah thanked the president of Mighty Barrolle, Mr. Moore, for the invitation and challenged the National President to lead the way to a peaceful resolution for the impasse in Barrolle. He again pledged his organization’s unflinching support for the leadership of the Trenton chapter and that Invincible Eleven will continue to work with the Barrolle his organization has known and worked with for over two decades.

Dr. Charles Baby ray Woelfel broke in tear when explaining the genesis of the formation of the Barrolle Union to the National President. He said “this is not the Union I envisaged when I led the organizing committee to form the Union and hoped that one day we will all come together as one.” He further stated “this Trenton chapter has made me ashamed; the chapter has made all of us ashamed; despite all the Barrolle chapters in the United States and despite all that this chapter has gone through with the Union, this chapter continues to be the only chapter supporting the team back home.” He thanked the leadership and members of the Trenton chapter for their continued support for the mother organization back home.

Mr. Samuel L. Barrolle, former National President and elder of the Trenton chapter reiterate the call by other speakers to the National President to make concrete recommendations on the way for peace in Barrolle.
