The 17th Annual Boardie Bash will be April 24th at Travellers!

[Rob]

This year's 2015 annual Boardie Bash will be held where it all began - at Travellers Beach Resort on April 24th from Noon to 4pm! It brings us full circle - from the Beingee's Boutique Shop (there were no Internet Cafes back in 1995) where we offered "email related services" using the only provider on the island - InfoChannel - to the present where the internet is now in your pocket! And it all started at Travellers Beach Resort and we proudly support their efforts with the NEET program. Giving back to the community has always been the goal of Negril.com!

And you all have been a great part of this 20 year journey and we want to invite each and everyone of our online community to join us and meet each other and also help those who support Negril and Jamaica. We hope to see you, either in person or online and help us celebrate years of online Negril!

Here is a little "blast from the past" from March 1996 at Travellers:

Keep checking this thread for more information about the 17th Annual Boardie Bash party for news and how it will benefit the local Negril community and Jamaica as a whole! As always, the Boardie Bash is free to attend. The charity we are supporting this year is the NEET program (Negril Education Environment Trust) http://neetja.com/ which is an official non-profit organization based at Travellers Beach Resort in Negril, Jamaica.

In 2003 the organization was founded to address the country’s need for educational support and resources. Since its inception, NEET's mission and vision have grown. Today, NEET is committed to strengthening the social fabric of Jamaica through programs that expand educational access for children and adults, partnerships that address our public and environmental health, and events and activities that celebrate Jamaica’s rich heritage. NEET achieves its mission through the provision of three programs, Island-wide Book & Computer Distribution, Computer Literacy, and the Medical Mission.

In January 2015 NEET rededicated St. Pauls primary library which has been completely renovated. In doing so, 30 tablets were donated to the graduating class of 2015. These tablets came with the Bible, national anthem, pledge, encyclopedia and a number of educational programs pre-installed.

We didnt actually make this a "sticky" post to start a roll call but since it has started, you can add your name if you so choose! It will be great to see old friends and meet new ones again this year! As always, everyone is welcome - registered member Posters and non-registered non-Posters (Lurkers) alike! As I mentioned, you can add your name here if you wish so your friends can look for you, but no one is under any obligation - it is up to you! Negril.com and Travellers want this to be a fun time for all with no pressures or hassles - just a great chance to meet and greet each other at a fine property, and also to help support a wonderful cause at the same time.

And yes, the "buy a brick" donations will be "in action" so think of a great name to paint on a brick!

See you all in just over a month at Travellers Beach Resort!
