Winding Down for the Season

March 31st, 2010

Geoff & Vicky Wells

The winter season here in Eleuthera is slowly winding down, and so are we.

We have had tremendous support for our newsletter and we thank everyone who has subscribed and contributed.

It’s time for us to take a break.

This will be the last newsletter of the 2009/2010 Eleuthera winter season.

We will, from time to time, send out special announcements. So, if you have something special and newsworthy happening, please drop us an email well in advance and we will do what we can to get the word out.

Again, thanks to everyone.

It’s been a great season!
