A lovely artist at Bordeaux Mtn makes great ornaments! Thanks, Ali….

Norfolk pine lends itself to delicate ornaments and carefully designed white lights. Christmas Tree Martha hopes to make a profit this year so she can donate to Mary’s Family.
For years I managed our website alone…it’s been dormant now for several years. I am giving in and getting a real web design person on board. Our website is, to say the least, not good!
Jeffrey and I absentee vote. I can’t force my friends and family to agree with me on every vote. But I can say you have to vote. If you don’t vote don’t complain.
Vote. It’s your right, your gift from our ancestors.
The new tennis season has started and our guys (sorry, no girls in the classes!) are enthusiastic and remembered a lot of their skills. It’s great to have our friends together every Tuesday morning.
If you ever find yourself looking for something to do on st john Tuesday mornings….come on by and play some tennis. We don’t mind meeting new friends.
After six weekly tennis lessons we are taking the summer off. Start up again second Tuesday after school starts. The students love tennis and now want a team so they can successfully compete. Great spirit even on hot days!

We are proud to announce that the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands has donated $500 to Mary’s Family to create an on-going adaptive tennis program on St John. This mini-grant will help us start a series of adaptive sports programs and encourage disability travel to our beloved island home.

It’s official…our nonprofit is now incorporated in the United States Virgin Islands! Let the respite days begin….
