January 24, 2011 Dear Friends: The year 2011 is very special for Virgin Islands Freshwater Association as we celebrate our 20

th

Year Anniversary. Our Annual Transfer Day Benefit Dinner Dance will take place at the Eastwood Manor in the Bronx, New York, on Saturday, March 26, 2011 from 8:00 PM – 3:00 AM. We will “celebrate the past while looking forward to a brighter and greater future.”

Our journal will look back on the many people we have honored for their inspiring and educational accomplishments benefitting the people of the Virgin Islands. A congratulatory message from you will serve to create a memorable journal that will become a most valuable keepsake.

The preferred file formats are PDF, tiff, jpg, MSWord or PowerPoint and should be sent to [email protected] on or before March 15, 2011.

Almost two decades ago, Virgin Islands Freshwater Association (VIFA), a 501(c)3 not-for-profit Association was founded to raise funds to assist those in need. We were first established in 1989 to foster and maintain linkages between those of us in New York with our communities back home. The impetus for the creation of this Association was the disaster in the Virgin Islands caused by Hurricane Hugo in September of that same year. Since then, our Association has provided scholarship assistance, hospital donations, services for senior citizens and needy children, as well as much needed relief in the aftermath of Hurricane Marilyn in 1995.

VIFA was formed by a dedicated group of concerned Virgin Islanders who recognized the need for the preservation of our culture. The Association was created to cultivate cultural connections, interactions, and assistance to fellow Virgin Islanders; not only in times of crises, but whenever a need arises. Throughout the existence of the Virgin Islands Freshwater Association, our devoted members have worked diligently to ensure the ongoing success of our organization.

Since our inception twenty years ago, some of our accomplishments have included the adoption of Nana Baby-Children’s Home in St. Thomas and we have continued to support them in their efforts to tend to our children first and foremost. Other significant contributions of this remarkable organization include donations to the St. Croix United Fund; the September 11

th

Fund, Oprah’s Angel Network and the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund.

Through our ongoing VIFA Annual Scholarship Program, selected graduating students have been recognized for their academic achievements and rewarded appropriately. Accordingly, we were especially pleased to have donated to the thirteen students that traveled from St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands – Charlotte Amalie High School (CAHS) and Ivanna Eudora Kean High School – to New York City to attend the United Nations Scholar Program from January 31 – February 14, 2010.

We pride ourselves on always being prepared to improve the conditions of those in need, and those who may require a helping hand along life’s journey.

We hope that you will contribute to Virgin Islands Freshwater Association to assist us in sustaining the level of timely responses that we have become accustomed to when it involves our people … Virgin Islanders.

Sincerely, Helen George-Newton President HGN:llah Enclosures

Show your Support for Virgin Islands Freshwater Association

with our New “Drag & Drop Banner”

while Promoting Your Business

Here’s how “Drag & Drop” works … with an additional $50.00 to the cost

of your ad/message, send us your logo using any one of our preferred

formats. Your logo will be placed in various positions on Virgin Islands

Freshwater Association’s banner and will be displayed for one full year at

all of our events. The size of the banner will depend upon the number of

logos submitted … we are looking forward to having a “huge” banner.

This banner display, among other things, will advertise your business,

identify you as a VIFA supporter, and serve to enhance your commitment

to an ongoing connection with our local and Mainland Virgin Islanders.
