The Executive Board members of the Grenada Atlanta Association recently announced that they have made a substantial monetary donation of $15,000 to "Palm Gardens at Calliste", a home for the Elderly, in their native island of Grenada. The Association, whose members reside in the Metro Atlanta area, came into major play when in 2004, Hurricane Ivan swept across their tiny homeland island of Grenada, damaging and destroying nearly 90% of the buildings on the island. Grenada, known as the Isle of Spice, and one of the smallest islands in the Eastern Caribbean suffered tremendously when Hurricane Ivan spared nothing. To date, the island is recovering, yet there is much more rebuilding to be done. In Atlanta, The Grenada Atlanta Association has been steadily working to do their part to help in the reconstruction of their homeland. They hold an Annual Fundraising dinner, around the second week of November, which enables them to raise funds towards a project they had identified based on its need. This donation will allow the home to construct a recreational room for physical therapy for its occupants. "We believe in the comfort of the Elderly", said the President, Michael Roberts. The Association's decision to donate the sum of $15,000 is a compassionate act that shows the integrity of this group which is committed to helping with the rebuilding of Grenada one project at a time. "Our goal is to identify some short-term projects in the future for support", Roberts was quoted as saying. "This gift could not have been possible without the continued support of the Atlanta community. Grenada is on the upswing after the devastation of hurricane Ivan. While the prospect of growth looks great, the needs are still tremendous and our work is ongoing" THE GRENADA ATLANTA ASSOCIATION OPERATES UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF FEHCA, a 501c3 NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION Contact: Michael Roberts 404-545-7705
