CARIBBEAN CABLE ASSOCIATION GIVES US $1,000.00 TO RESOURCE PIONEERS THROUGH
GRENADA CABLEVISION LTD.


June 29, 2006, - Through the generosity of the Caribbean Cable & Telecommunications Association (CCTA), the St. Mark’s Resource Pioneers are the recipients of a
US $ 1, 000.00 grant from the association’s 2006 Community Charities Programme. The St. Mark’s Resource Pioneers was nominated for the grant by Grenada Cablevision Ltd., a member of the CCTA and the cable provider for Grenada.

The St. Mark’s Resource Pioneers was chosen as a grant recipient because of the service and assistance it provides to the community. The group operates a feeding programme providing lunch for the elderly in the community every Sunday, they also provide assistance for needy children with school supplies, and play a role in unifying the community through their annual awards presented to members of the community who have made outstanding contributions.

The check for US $1, 000.00 was present by Gail Purcell, Sales & Marketing Manager of Grenada Cablevision Ltd., on June 30, 2006. The funds will be used to support their Needy Students programme through the provision of books, uniforms, and school supplies.

The CCTA’s Community Charities Programme, established in 1993, has awarded over US $150,000 to Caribbean charities during its existence. The programme traditionally awards ten grants per year. However, the 2006 nominees were very worthy organizations, so the association’s board of directors voted unanimously to award grants to all 14 applicants.

The 14 grant recipients were nominated by the following cable & telecommunications operators: Bermuda CABLEVISION; Choice Communications of the U.S. Virgin Islands; Grenada Cablevision Ltd.; Innovative Cable TV St. Croix; Innovative Cable TV St. Thomas-St. John; Liberty Cablevision of Puerto Rico; OneLink Communications of Puerto Rico; St. Lucia Cablevision; St. Maarten Cable TV; SAT Telecommunications of Dominica; Telecable of the Dominican Republic; The Cable of St. Kitts; TV Distribution Systems N.V. of Curacao; and Wireless Telecommunications Network of St. Maarten.

Formed in 1983, the Caribbean Cable & Telecommunications Association represents cable & telecommunications providers throughout the Caribbean, as well as the programmers, software and hardware suppliers that support them.

In previous years organisations such as the Tufton Hall Home for Boys, The Programme for Adolescent Mothers, NCH, and Grensave have all benefited have been recipients of Grants here in Grenada.
