St. George’s, August 13, 2010 – New York-based Grenadians, who have made a donation of cash and items to the Bel Air Home, are promising further assistance to the institution in Calliste, St. George’s.

The promise was made July 12 by Derrick James, Consul General for Grenada in New York, and Raymond Layne – a member of the 2010 Grenada Independence Committee of New York. The Consulate General and the committee hosted an Independence fundraiser last February that netted about US$5,000.

GRENCAP United and the Consulate General of Grenada say “Thank You” for your tremendous turnout and support for the second Grenada Day celebration held at St. Andrew’s Playground in Brooklyn, NY, USA on Sunday July 18^th.

As stated by the event chairperson, “The celebration is a very significant step in bringing our people together …. a day when we can come out and feel at home with each other in a land so far away from ours”. 

Of course none of this is possible without you, and you surely demonstrated by your vast turnout and lively participation, the great potential that abounds within the Grenadian community in the USA and we dare say - the world. So again, THANK YOU and we look forward to your ongoing support for Grenada and for each other. May God’s richest blessings be upon each one of us!
