On January 1st 2012, the doors of the St John Hospice Antigua were open to the public.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_185746\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-185746\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-185746\" src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/The-Members-of-the-Board-of-the-St-John-Ambulance-AGM-2023.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:768\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/The-Members-of-the-Board-of-the-St-John-Ambulance-AGM-2023.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:225\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/The-Members-of-the-Board-of-the-St-John-Ambulance-AGM-2023.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:576\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/The-Members-of-the-Board-of-the-St-John-Ambulance-AGM-2023.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:696\/h:522\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/The-Members-of-the-Board-of-the-St-John-Ambulance-AGM-2023.jpg 696w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:560\/h:420\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/The-Members-of-the-Board-of-the-St-John-Ambulance-AGM-2023.jpg 560w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:80\/h:60\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/The-Members-of-the-Board-of-the-St-John-Ambulance-AGM-2023.jpg 80w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:265\/h:198\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/The-Members-of-the-Board-of-the-St-John-Ambulance-AGM-2023.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-185746\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Members of the Board of the St John Ambulance AGM 2023<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div id=\"antig-3647006981\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>St John Association of Antigua and Barbuda Holds Successful Annual General Meeting at Government House The St John Association of Antigua &amp; Barbuda a registered charity under the patronage of Their Excellencies, Sir Rodney and Lady Williams, gathered for its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Wednesday, September 20, 2023, at Government House.
