Flag Luxury Properties: WORKERS' FAMILY PARTY A GREAT TIME

Construction workers at the Flag/Temenos/St. Regis project in Anguilla, of various nationalities and many members of the Anguillian public, rubbed shoulder to shoulder last weekend in a show of comraderie and mutual friendship that brought much enjoyment to all in attendance.

The occasion, dubbed “Workers’ Family Party”, was held at the beach area of the project down from the stunning Greg Norman 18-hole Championship golf course and in the vicinity of the Estate Houses and other luxury villas.

Applause for entertainer

Some 600 or more workers, their friends and a number of invited guests, crowded the large open area. The employees make up a labour force from Anguilla, various other parts of the Caribbean, distant and multi-cultural countries like China, Israel, Romania and, closer home, Mexico and Colombia.

Looking on at local culture

The party was organised by ASTROM (Anguilla Ltd.), the Israeli construction company now continuing the building of the up-scale project. The objective of the beach party was to further enhance the integration process and to promote harmonious relationships among the work force and management.

There was a huge outlay of food and refreshment, more than enough for the milling throng. The Chinese nationals were served with menus prepared by their own chefs and some of them joined many other persons in enjoying an assortment of food cooked by local caterer, Orelia Connor.

Adding to the enjoyment and pleasantness of the night was continuous musical entertainment by D J Sugar, sending the vast crowd under the tent, and on the surroundings, in gay abandonment.

The vast crowd observed the timing of the delightful occasion in that by 9.30 they were already leaving the development area with much to remember.
