The Christmas gifts for the worker's children behind Coco Beach were a success. Al & Jenine and Kath & I had a wonderful time sharing some joy. We made sure that everyone understood that many owners were behind the scenes helping us out.
Apples are a treat to Belizeans at Christmas time. They are expensive and hard to find. We bought 250 of them and gave all the staff enough for their families and all the construction workers.
There are five families behind Coco Beach and seventeen children. We got all the fathers together and gave them each enough toys so that every child got several. That way the fathers were able to provide for their families.
Everyone was thankful and thanks to all of you who helped us make this a special Christmas for all of them.
On the news side............
The Construction dock in front of Building A is GONE!
Southwind has purchased the Kingsbury Property next door and the construction dock has been moved to that property. The second pool has most of the concrete done and is waiting bottom finish and a little more tile work. I'm thinking the Hotel and Restaurant are another 4 to 6 months away from finishing. The reception center part of it will probably be finished sooner.
Coco Beach hosted a jazz party last night at the pool bar. Happy hour drinks and a live band.
We awoke to a beautiful, sunny Christmas morning. Kath and I wish you all safe travels over the holidays and a very Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!
Kath and I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a safe New Year.
As the Season begins, we are considering the construction workers and their families that live behind Coco Beach and what their Christmas may look like. There are 21 adults and 13 children. Children are ages 1 to 15 years. 10 Boys and 3 girls.
We are going to Belize City in a few days and are going to purchase some toys and food to give out to these families. If anyone is interested in participating in this as a group effort, please send me an email (scubawalk@aol.com) and let me know what you want to do.
