Our History

A Brief History Of The Caribbean & Floridian Association, Inc.
We Salute Our Founding Members:

Stokely A. Jack
Conrad Randolph

The idea to form an association in Central Florida came about during a trip to the beach. The group – Stokely Jack, Conrad Randolph, Judy Randolph, June Wilson, Cindy Wilson, Eileen Headecker, and Diane Neblett – decided that there was a dire need for an Association which would assist new arrivals to Central Florida, particularly those with Caribbean backgrounds. Its members would be involved in all aspects of the community – culturally, politically, and educationally.

In July 1990, the first meeting, which was attended by members of the group and other like-minded residents of Central Florida, was held in a church on Smith Street in Kissimmee. Subsequently, meetings have been held at the Kissimmee Council on Aging headquarters and the Y.M.C.A. building in Kissimmee. In November 1991, the Association was incorporated. The first Executive Committee was:

Stokely A. Jack – President
Conrad Randolph – 1st Vice President
Everette Bentham – 2nd Vice President
Marlon Moffatt – Treasurer
Hollis Williams – Secretary
Peter Ayers – Chaplain

The first By-Laws were completed and ratified in 1994. Some of our annual functions are:

Family Day Bus Outing to a local beach.
Youth Awards Ceremony (in 1997 the Dorway Scholarship was established in honor of Gordon Dorway).
Host of Caribbean Fusion at the Kissimmee Lakefront.
Biennial Cruise to the Caribbean.
“Old Year’s Night” Ball.
Family Day Picnic.

At this time, our ultimate dream is to acquire ownership of real property in Central Florida. The members of the Caribbean and Floridian Association are dedicated to sharing their skills, experience, and resources, to make this community the greatest place to live.
