The University of the Virgin Islands announced the winners of the 24th Annual Afternoon on the Green held on Sunday, March 10. Afternoon on the Green Co-Chair Cheryl Miller thanked all participants, cooks and volunteers for coming out to support UVI's annual friendraiser and congratulated all of the cooks and volunteers that received awards on Sunday.
