Errol and Other Mausicans,friends, It is unlikely that I would make Grenada. Too many inroads into my small accounts lately, and I promised friends in Malawi that I would visit in 2010, God's willing , this egg basket is overloaded.
I was talking with Rodney Foster recently, and he said he had not seen my request/suggestion that each registrant take a book on education (Or just a book that a child or teacher could use) to Grenada, to make a collective donation to the people of the country, and so, I repeat it here. Those who are still associated with schools and colleges, particularly those coming from N. America and Europe could easily get a book. Our bookrooms at work are full of samples from publishers. Those coming from the Caribbean may find it a little harder, but through friends in the US, they could get one in their name. Of course the new airline rules may seem to make it difficult, it's one checked bag per person, if you are going economy.Anyone flying first class could carry a suitcase full of books.
Nonetheless, books are so important, and would not be replaced by computers, except if every one of us had computerized books in every room in the house, including the bathrooms, able to open on command to our favorite, best loved passages. I feel that taking a book to put into the hands of a teacher or a child is a significant gesture of hope and renewal.
I have faith others would take this and run with it. If Merle Howe comes, I will give her a book to donate from me. I see in my mind's eye, and entire pile of books being handed over by the planners of the festivities- a bigger gesture than a check. Each donor can sign his/her donation.
Love to all

Re plans for Grenada... I am assuming that the Ministry of Education there is well on board and supporting the efforts of our team as they prepare to host the Reunion and bring new faces to the island... as a matter of fact the Ministry of Tourism shold also be in on the act.
As this may be my last reunion, for a while at least, I want no stone left unturned and I am still looking for someone in Grenada who will help me track down my great great grandmother ANNA WATTS ( 1800's) who went to Trinidad and married LUM POON, an indentured Chinese labourer from GUANDONG province. Am I asking too much? Not sorry! Pat

Hi Errol
Thanks for keeping things going. Plans for Grenada are progressing. Mausicans who would have seen news about the storms in SW France will be relieved to know that Ainswoth Ash is fine... surrounded by the results of a severe attack by the forces of Nature, but carrying on in traditional Mausica fashion.
I was able to make phone contact with him on Saturday and I don't know which of us was happier.
Keep well friends. Do not put off visits to your Doctor... watch your diet and exercise. Blessings....pat

Thanks to the Grenadian team for hosting this 2009 Mausica Reunion. Sounds like it should be quite a gala affair! I would like very much to attend and reunite with fellow Mausicans, but first, I need a breakdown of the registration fee. Could someone please let us know what the fee includes?
Thanks!

Hi Rodney and all who need this info.
How are you? I am not sure if you got this info. yet, but the Dinner and Dance will be taking place at the Grenada Trade Center (Annex), this is an update from Megan. She said that to have Registration/Welcome Cocktails there also is too expensive, so an alternative venue is being sought. They will let us know when they find a comfortable and cosy venue.
Hi Anne, great to see that you are now online with us.
Earl, thanks for the South Winds info. Blessings to all. The countdown begins.

It would seem that South Winds Apartments in Morne Rouge is the most suitable and it gets my vote. I am looking forward to this re-union and have already registered.

It's me again trying to track down another Mausican sister.
This time an "athletic buddy" from '64/66.
Her name was Leoni Lyons. I dont know her current surname.
She was my 100 metre sprinter partner, ( In dem days, at athletic meetings, we used to bus up dem odder college women tail)
It would be great to get in touch with her again.
Thanks in advance!

Re: hotels
2009-Jan-12-1008hrs
Please see my message to Yvonne and her comments regarding accommodation. The event is occuring during the carnival season, so hotels have to be booked quickly. How do people feel about reserving accommodation as a group - several rooms at one location?
See my comments below. I attach the listing from those that I saw and I really would recommend the Grand Anse Palace Beach. There are 4 & 5 bedrooms available. Second choice is Roydon's. They are across the street diagonally from each other. We should try to reserve the hotel soon if we decide to go with Grand Anse Beach Palace.
Yvonne Murray
RE: hotels
This is a list that seems acceptable. The best ones are in bold type. I don't know how far each is from the centre of activities -
Victoria Hotel in Victoria - This is a fair distance from activities. It's in the western parts and would require waiting for buses etc.
Town & country in Belmont - Saw it. My reservation is that there is a common bathroom for all guests. One would have to leave one's room to get to the bathroom.
The Beach Inn in Grand Anse - Near to centre of activities.
South Winds Apartments in Morne Rouge - Nearer to centre of activities than Victoria but would still require a bus/taxi ride.
Roydons Apartments in Grand Anse - Saw this and is my 2nd recommendation. Walking distance to Beach and centre of activities
Plantatioan House in Morne Fendue- This is far from the centre of activities. It's not far from where my relatives live and I am not even staying this far. It would cost about $24EC bus fare round trip to centre of activities.
Grenada Rainbow in Grand Bas- This is in Grenville town and is quite a distance from St. George's. It would cost $12EC per day to centre of activities and is not near to the nice beaches.
Candle Glow apartments in Lance Aux Epines - Near to Grand Anse and centre of activities. Did not see it.
Almost Paradise cottages in Sauteurs- Near to Morne Fendue so the same comment applies.

RE: spice isle 2009
2009-Jan-12-1007hrs
Hi everyone,
The date for registration if drawing close, but I still have a question outstanding - "why is the registration the same price as the gala?"
So far the events total $310. US, that is excluding the trip to Carriacou. Airfare is around $700. Cdn. Hotel might be about $240. US. (single).
Any thoughts?

My Mausica Family,
Greetings from New York..On behalf of Mausica Teachers' Alumni & Friends, I wish you all the best for this New Year. A very challenging year ahead for us all and we pray that those who are employed remain employed in this crippling economy. We should pray for our sons and daughters and do remember that we are indeed our brothers' keeper! Happy New Year to all.!
The Mausica New York Chapter just celebrated our 15th year of existence.with a gala Holiday party. We are proud to reach our fifteenth year of existence and were happy to have in our midst, Felix Edinborough and Yvonne Francois (who were visiting.)
We have lost some of our key members, among them our past President, Michael Dudley Dickson , still fondly remembered. Joan Awai, Lionel Henry, Hudson Phillip and Carlston Grey have all relocated outside New York State. So we remain with a handful of Mausicans: Mary Modeste, Elmo Phillip, Myrtle Dickson and Cliff Bertrand. We hope Melvina Dick will jump on our bandwagon!. However, with the help of our irreplaceable, hardworking and motivated "Friends" we continue to push on with our goal of raising funds to give tuition awards to our High School graduates in our tri-state area. We distributed three awards this year in the name of The Michael Dudley Dickson Memorial Award.
I am definitely coming to Grenada in July and I am happy to see the itinerary of activites. Grenada ( Elmer, Croty and Megan) here I come!! Regards to Ancil Ash.(I haven't seen you in umpteen years)..I hope to see JP (Joan Parris) Pearla James, Merdith Osbourne, Kay Cyrus, (Villa Nova buddies) among all others of course.
Regards,

Dear Errol,
Hallmark Investments is private limited company incorporated under the Grenada companies Act, 1994 (no 35 of 1994) and is owned by my wife and I. It is a shell company, that is a company which has no assets or liabilities and has done no business. It was accordingly convenient to use it to receive the Reunion Funds.
Here's how it will operate: For the Reunion the directors of Hallmark will be Elmer Roberts, Gilbert Roberts (Elmer's husband) Megan Welsh, Alphonsus & Joyce Antoine. All funds will be deposited into this company's account and cheques will be drawn on that account to meet Reunion expenses. This will require two signatures of any of the five directors.
Do feel comfortable Errol to follow-up if this does not quite cover it.
Fraternally Yours,
Alphonsus

This is a wonderful way to start the New Year... so many messages on the blog. Brenda, I always thought the word was pWeffen but we got the message anyway. Want to say that Mausica is about all Mausicans who feel the glow when they meet a fellow Mausican previously known or not. There are probably some pioneers who are yet to feel it and I am in touch with later Mausicans , at least one whom I am yet to meet face to face, who definitely radiate the glow. let's just all enjoy the feeling and pass it on to the second generation who have begun to join their parents at the reunions.
Love and blessings to all... Grenada here we come! pat. ps: Aunty Daph is a multi faceted phenomenon... you just take her as she is, love her and not waste time trying to unravel her... bear in mind the poem of the 3 men from Hindustn who went to see the elephant though all of them were blind: each got a different impression, none of which was either wrong or completely right!
