Top business people in the community joined together to help support the benefit. And for many it was a chance to experience Seven Star’s newly opened restaurant “La Pergola” where a majority of the evening festivities took place. Turks & Caicos Sporting Club donated a Safari Package for two on Ambergris Cay for the silent auction.

Today, Fuzzy Davis, Director of Outdoor Pursuits; Chris Grinnell , Sales Executive; and Mimi Crume, Director of Communications met with New York City’s top anglers at the most prestigious Angling Club in the World.
With the help of a very trusted old friend, Turks & Caicos Sporting Club hosted over 20 anglers for lunch and fishing tales. The most illustrious fishing club in New York City served as the perfect backdrop to host a beautiful sunny September afternoon luncheon where each of the gentlemen were in awe of the beauty, exclusivity, and privacy of Ambergris Cay (not to mention the flats overflowing with bonefish!)

The President of The Club was also in attendance, a wonderfully warm gentleman, who kindly asked me not to mention the name of our host location. Can anyone guess what’s behind the green door?

Having spent the last couple of days on Ambergris Cay - brand new to the team to help out with local marketing and day 15 post Hurricane Ike - I am incredibly impressed not only with the infrastructure on the island, but shockingly impressed with the passion, joy and drive that the entirety of the staff of Ambergris Cay holds.
I attempted compliments in conversation a number of times, “You guys are such a fantastic team,” yet I would stand corrected with the continuous response, “No, we are not a team, we are a family”. Every single conversation I had with an Ambergris “family” member was such an informative and positive one. Each individual wanted to make sure everything was back to the island’s normal pristine ways, but at the same time respecting the island’s natural treasures (i.e. landscaping). Having had the opportunity to see both the Cay pre & post Hurricane Ike, I was amazed that everything from the air traffic control center and the generators, to the reverse osmosis plants were in complete working condition. Even the plants and landscaping were on a quick rejuvenation!
To commend the staff of Ambergris’ incredible hard work, there was a staff party Friday night. With such a diverse team from around the world coming together to work on such an outstanding project, I couldn’t have asked for a better project and island to assist in spreading the word for.

Day 8 Post Ike and I am back in NYC at my desk on the 24th floor at 57th and Park. Calls from Ambergris Cay have confirmed steady and speedy clean up. Peter Pollak visits with a handful of prospects amazed at how well the island fared.
I received this image from Peter McKinney, our VP of Development; here’s “Our Little Island that Could” directly in the Eye of Ike, local time 2:38am Sunday, September 7, 2008. Incredible.
