Party invitation July 28 - Help for children

Hello all,

besides all those nasty posts recently I learned to know many kind people on this board. To see who is behind the names I had the idea to have a party in the DR during my upcoming vacation.

After checking for a suitable date with some of the frequent visitors the event has been scheduled for Saturday, July, 28. I now would like to invite all who are interested.

In addition to the party Saturday night, with live merengue music and puerco asado, we can spend the Sunday on the beach with fresh grilled fish and so on.

If you arrive earlier or stay longer I can offer to arrange other activities. If you want to play golf at Playa Grande a reservation will be necessary, if you want to go horseback riding I should know some days in advance. Other things to do would be the Laguna Grigri boat tour, swimming at Playa Caleton or a visit to Parque Nacional Cabo Frances Viejo.

The party will take place at our house in Abreu, between Rio San Juan and Cabrera. I think I can make reservations in one of the hotels in the area if you need.

I want to use this event to collect some money to help children in Abreu. As I think education is one of the most important things I like to support the local school and kids going to school. I plan to buy school uniforms for those who need it most. This can be done with any amount of money, the more money I have, the more uniforms I can buy. The party is free, please don´t bring any gifts and save some pesos for this. I want to collect the donations anonymously, but if you like I can also note your names and publish them with a report about the whole thing on my homepage.

My wife is from Abreu and the pricipal of the local school is a good friend of mine, so I can promise that every peso donated will reach those who need it. If you can´t be there but want to donate we will find a way to arrange that as well.

I will fly to the DR next week. If you are interested please e-mail me and I will send you the directions and how to contact me there. I need to know at least one week in advance.

I hope to see many people from this board soon.

Bye

Ronald

I arrive Sunday July 29th. Maybe next time.

Dear Ronald and all other DR1 posters.

I will be attending the DR1 party and hope many others will also plan to attend. Sounds great!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks,

PS It will be great to meet many of the regular users.

Ronald is hosting the Party July 28 and 29. Here is your chance
to get to know who your fellow DR1 posters are. It will be
great to get together. Ronald told me there are several who
will be attending and that was before he made the DR1 public
post.
In my case airfares from Florida were pretty high, but using
frequent flyer mileage worked out well. So be creative and
plan to attend.
