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.

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 some days in
advance.

I hope to see many people from this board soon.

Bye

Ronald

Sorry,

I posted above without reading your post. The problem is that Puerto Plata is more central for people froma Santiago to Rio San Juan than Playa Grande. Also night is a bad idea because many don't want to drive on the highways here at night and can't stay over in Rio San Juan due to commitments at home.

Could we move it to Puerto Plata? I suggested Sunday because lots of people work on Saturdays here. If you don't like Anna's Bar and Grill we could do it somewhere else in POP.

The reason for having it in Abreu is very easy: This is where we have our house and where I have all the infrastructure to do the party.
There are hotels at very reasonable prices available in the area so that you would not have to drive at night.
Also, the area is for sure worth a visit, so why not come up here for the weekend.
Of cause there is no copyright on this idea to invite people from DR1, so feel free to do it whereever and whenever you want, but maybe not this Saturday.

Bye

Ronald
