Thank you all for your patience in our announcemen

Thank you all for your patience in our announcement; this has been without a doubt the most difficult year on our entire community... Even after hurricane Dorian, we felt the joy of the cheeseburger party is what we needed, but in light of ongoing uncertainty we have decided this event is not possible for 2020. Our team moves mountains each year to make this event fun, safe, and charitable for our #greenturtlecay community and unfortunately we do not feel confident we can hold that standard this year. We want to encourage everyone who feels safe and is able to travel, to come to Abaco when the borders reopen. The small, locally owned businesses are completely dependent on your support. We need your love more than ever this year so we can all stick around and throw the best Cheeseburger in Paradise Party in 2021. So go ahead and mark your calendars for July 8th, 2021.. @cheeseburgerinparadiseparty will be back stronger than ever. And in the meantime come visit us, have a rum punch or two, hire a fishing guide, rent a golf cart, order conch fritters, enjoy the smiles we all so look forward to together. #gtcstrong #abacostrong #hurricanedorian #cheeseburgerparty #fiddlecay

Update on Amy Roberts Primary School, hurricane sh

Update on Amy Roberts Primary School, hurricane shelter, and historical site. Leanne Russell writes:
“I was at the school yesterday when it came down. Yes, I cried as well. And I will continue to be emotional as every one of the historical buildings slated for complete demo in New Plymouth comes down.
The plans for the new school have been circulated for quite some time- they were available for viewing at a town meeting I attended and are available on the Foundation Page (they are beautiful).
After seeing the plans I reached out to see if/how I could be involved with the project; the fact that it was up for debate what could potentially happen to the old school was concerning for me- as it is for all of you. But my fears were eased by the fact that the preservation of its history has always been a priority. I am not being paid for this work- I am doing it because I genuinely want to see our history preserved for future generations.
I have been up at the school site for the past 3 weeks. Off and on, documenting the cataloguing of all parts of the school that were salvageable. Extensive measurements were taken, and a comprehensive model of the building was created. I have seen the crew take on the tedious project of taking off the siding one board at a time, witness the care that took- it was still difficult for me to see the school, laying flat on the ground, in what appears to be a state of ruin. But I believe in this project still. I believe in The Foundation’s vision, and their sincerity in wanting to provide the community with a not only a beautiful school (that will double as our new hurricane shelter) but a space for the children of Green Turtle Cay to appreciate and celebrate their history in the form of the on site museum. I am confident that even though the original building could not be moved in one piece, that the salvaged pieces (which are pretty extensive as the building was taken down in that way to leave the roof in tact) will be used to pay tribute to the memories so many of us have of attending “big school” on the hill.

You’ve been long awaiting an update so we’d like to share what has been publicly announced regarding our ability to reopen and welcome you back: “Government officials are considering resuming commercial travel in the country “on or before” July 1, Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis announced” (full article linked in our story)
.
Abaco has limited availability in rooms and marina slips, so we recommend our loyal guests go ahead and give us a call to book your stay after July 1st since we do anticipate selling out. We have adjusted our cancellation policy to reflect the fluid situation in the PM’s briefings. .
We are eager as you are and hope to serve you soon! Much love, your GTC family 💙🐢
