"ONE PEOPLE ONE DESTINY ONE MOVEMENT"

The nation’s capital will come alive as the PDM celebrates its 40th year in grand style on the island of its birth. June 4 – 7th, 2015, PDMs will converge on Grand Turk to fellowship and unite under the theme: “One People, One Destiny, One Movement”.

On Thursday, June 4th a candle lighting ceremony is planned in memory of its Party’s first Leader, the Right Excellent Hon JAGS McCartney. There will be a time of reflection on the man who led the movement that has contributed to a change in representative politics.

On Friday, June 5th, members of the convention and PDM family will engage in community activities during the morning. That evening, a Legends Ball will be held at Yellow Man and Sons. During this time, former Leaders and early Freedom Fighters will be honored for their years of service and for their role in the Junkanoo Club Event, respectively. We will also recognize other national leaders in the persons of former and current Parliamentarians and former National Chairmen.

Saturday, June 6th will see Party business which will include a review of its work and platform and the election of Party Officers.
Later that evening, the Junkanoo Club Event will be commemorated by the hosting of a street party at the Junkanoo Club on Good Street. This date will mark the 40th Anniversary of the event which took place on June 6, 1975.

On Sunday, as a PDM family, we will worship together at the Salem Baptist Church.

PDM Leader says, “We are excited about this convention. We are forever grateful to those early brave men and women, our former national leaders and all those on whose shoulders we stand. There is a serious air of excitement and a spirit of celebration also in the air.
We are proud of our heritage and our Party. We will review our position as a Party, rally our base and leave united to achieve one goal and that is to become the Government of the Day.”

This historic occasion is geared towards uniting us all.

The PDM Leader noted that everyone is welcomed to share in the events that are open to the public. The business session on Saturday afternoon is for Convention attendees only.
