Easter Bash on Easter Sunday Announcement

[Escott]

Well folks I just got email from one of our British couples who own a condo in Sosua asking about the Easter Bash so here it goes. March 27th is the date.

We will be having our traditional Easter Bash on the Traditional Easter Sunday starting at 2pm to accomodate our friends that have to travel and don't like to travel at night. Place will be Rocky Restaurant and Bar on Calle DR. Rosen in Sosua where we have traditionally had our meals with well over 100 DR1'ers showing up from all over. Make your reservations now folks because Sosua is real crowded with tourists these days.

I will get back on and post all the exact info regarding dinner, price etc in a few days once I talk to Marco to get him up to speed.

This year I would like to do some fund raising for children in Sosua so if anyone has some ideas please share them here. We have spoken about this but haven't gotten it done before so lets get it done this year.

Sign up here.

Hi all

Great idea - I will see you there.

On the 'fund raising' subject - what about EVERYONE who is coming to the DR from GB, USA, CANADA etc. do a little local 'appeal' of their own ?

For instance, those with children, maybe send the kids to school with information about what the children here in the DR need with regards to school and education. If every child donated a pen a pencil some crayons and a ruler - think of the school supplies that would be accumulated.

Being winter there a small advertisement in the local store window for any unused children’s summer clothes etc may get much needed clothing etc that would only take up a tiny piece of luggage space for people to bring with them.

If everyone brought a little - it could so easily become a lot.

Just an idea.

Regards

Chris

Please put your names down.

This year I have started putting a young Dominican girl who is 7 years old in Private School. The child has a mother and father who are very cooperative and pleased. Dawnwil has been tutoring the child to help her get settled in school and is now helping her with homework and preparing for tests. So far after only a couple of weeks the child is doing great.

After the initial cost which was about 17000 pesos it only costs 2500 pesos a month. I would love to do this for other children to give them a leg up in life. The headmaster of the school told me this child will be speaking English which will mean a world of difference and give the child a chance in the future.

If anyone has an interest in doing this or contributing to this let me know. Maybe we can help some others get out of a cycle of things that aren't good for children.

Scott I guess this should be a separate thread but what is included in the intitial cost of 17000 pesos and where is this set up cost going to?

Thanks
