FUND RAISING WITH ELECTIONS IN MIND

Toronto, March 26, 2008 -- Members of NDC Toronto, who held their first major fund raiser recently, say they are pleased with the outcome of the event.

 
"It was a success on all counts,'' said Sandra Pierre, Secretary of NDC Toronto.  "The turnout was great and it included not just Grenadians in Toronto, but also people who traveled from Montreal and the United States. It was a fun event and, most of all, we met our objective of realizing a profit from the fund raiser.''
 
NDC Toronto was formally established last September during a visit to Canada by a delegation headed by Opposition Leader Honourable Tillman Thomas, who also is head of the National Democratic Congress.
 
The Toronto group, like others across North America and in the United Kingdom, is committed to assisting the NDC in winning Grenada's soon-to-be-held general election.
 
"The next general election is critical to the future of Grenada, Carriacou and Petit Martinique,'' Pierre said.  "We plan on providing whatever financial and material assistance we can afford to Brother Tillman and the NDC.''
 
Pierre, on behalf of the executive and membership of NDC Toronto, thanked everyone who attended the fundraising dance or who assisted in one way or another, including the owners of De Iron Pot Restaurant, where the event was held.
