Love and Business

By -


Ok so this is late in April but Im just excited to see so many great things going on in Grand Bahama at the moment.

 During the Fidelity Free Women's Seminar I left feeling a bit concerned about the future for many women here. One of the predictions that women would be in more poverty struck me to the core. 

 While I will put aside the reasons I will say the idea that more and more women are trying to find ways to improve their lot in life is the way forward. 

 How to do that?

 Bringing up my kids my worries were always how to balance home and work. I worked hard long hours and my kids did not know me when they grew up, despite the fact that I did spend what I thought was a lot of time with them. But the payout was good enough to keep them and myself and to teach them what I thought to be good values. I cannot tell them as good as I can show them what I could like to see from them.

 But I learned throughout life that many women struggle with the same question of balance... with or without a husband. 

 I can't wait to hear April Mason's take on the matter.

 I applaud Renu for the work they are doing in promoting a better life for all on Grand Bahama. It's all a part of being the change we want to see in our country.

 Get tickets early. Get seats early. Don't come fashionably late and miss out on a blessing.

 Grand Bahama needs all of us doing better for it to be better.

 They had added an even more special aspect to the event:
The team at RenuYou plan to give back to a deserving single mother.  Our event on April 30th, 3016 - Love and Business - " Finding your Balance" will give special recognition to a deserving single parent who may have fallen on difficult times.  We know many times women end up holding the brunt of responsibility when families fall apart and find themselves having to work hard to give their children the quality of life they were use to.  Additionally, with the hard economic times many single parents have had to restructure themselves financially in order to maintain the normalcy.

We have decided to have a special contest to honor a single mother in the Grand Bahama community.  The recipient will win a Spa Day (facial, hair, pedicure and massage) a $150 Solomon's/Cost Right Gift Card and $500 payment toward an outstanding bill of their choosing.

We will forward the rules of contest on Monday.

Please pass along the information and buy your tickets early to attend Love and Business - Finding your Balance Featuring - April Mason.

Freeport in the 70's and 80's.

In a recent discussion with an acquaintance who is a long time resident of Grand Bahama, he said he hopes Freeport turns around to which I quickly reminded him of the days when we thought Freeport was going down. After the rush of the 50's and the 60s that ushered in a lot of constructions and the building of Freeport which pushed the natives to the outer areas, there came the 70s and the smaller investors leaving quickly. However, in the late 70s and early 80s there was still a lot of activity here. There were over ten big hotels on the island and two casinos. Also there was Sir Laker who came in to add Laker Airways to the airlift to this island. The industrial side was holding its own but things were beginning to taper off. Around this time there were calls of a diversification of industries in the country and to stop relying only on Tourism. Some complaints were flying that there were too many foreign croupiers and well qualified Bahamians who could do that same job Th...

Mountain top experiences

The Grand Bahama Port Authority is really going all out this year as they are not only hoping to bring in investors but also to create more investors/entrepreneurs at home.  This is a very favourable turn of events with the new Business Development Department. This conference would be the third event launched by the Port this year, the first being the My Grand Bahama Campaign, then the Customer Service Workshop and now the Economic Empowerment Development Conference.  As the world turns and the seasons for each place, especially Grand Bahama, is just about complete with its valley times for now, we are moving closer to the mountain and looking forward to some mountain top experiences. Here it's about setting a stage for all players to be ready. Grand Bahama will flourish with more residents. But for more residents, we need more money making reasons for people to travel and to live here.  If, for those who believe in Bahamians only, we cannot organi...

A pictorial look at Freeport 1950-1960s

Before hitting the great days of the 70s and 80s I found these photos of Freeport on Oldbahamas.com and thought to share them. Remember that unlike Nassau, New Providence, Freeport, Grand Bahama did not have the history. What history we have now is the growing up of Freeport and the entire island due to the formation of the Hawksbill Creek Agreement,  the Grand Bahama Port Authority and the Grand Bahama Development Company. A boom of energy and a vision that was all set, but later side tracked by the thought of sharing the profits was what we were left with and little though of how to recover and move on with proper legislation to assist all. Next week we look at the promises fulfilled by the G.B. Port Authority. Thanks again to Oldbahama.com. If you want copies of these photos just contact them for reprints.
