ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI - Despite showers of rain throughout the day yesterday February 28, 2015, the Ready Committee's fundraiser was deemed successful.

The Ready Committee, a youth group associated with the Virgin Islands Party (VIP) held a car wash and fun day in the parking lot of the CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank.

Apart from the car wash, there was food on sale and rides for the children who thoroughly enjoyed bouncy castles and water slides.

Speaking to this news site, Vice President of the Ready Committee Kevon S. Lettsome said that the event was a success even though the voter registration exercise that had been planned to be a part of it had to be postponed because of the weather.

“Today we had some bad weather and we got off to a late start. But after the rain stopped we were able to get a productive day and based on the selling of tickets it was very respectable. A lot of the cars came out and we were cleaning cars despite the rain,” he said.

“I will say that overall it was a success. It was a community effort and not just a party effort…the party chipped in but the community played a big part in it. We brought out the rides for the kids and everybody put in a hand and we were well supported,” said Lettsome.

“Even the executive body [of the VIP] chipped in very big and so it was a great success. As we said we are moving in one direction and that is forward. A better day is coming,” he said.

Lettsome said that the voter registration exercise will take place at another event to be announced shortly as it had to be put off due to the rain at yesterday’s event.

“Due to the rain we could not do it. We held off on that but we have a next event coming up shortly so we will do a new press release when we will be launching the voter registration drive,” said Lettsome.

Some of the senior members of the VIP who came out to support the event were Chairman Honourable Julian Fraser RA (R3), Honourable Andrew A. Fahie (R1), and President of the VIP Carvin Malone.

President of the BVI Cancer Society Gloria A. Fahie was also at the event as well as radio talk show personality Edmund G. Maduro and many others.

‘Every vote counts!’ - Ready Committee's Aashaud D. L. Lewis

-Ready Committee to hold fundraiser and voter registration exercise as it galvanizes youth supporters of the Virgin Islands Party 

ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI - The ‘Ready Committee’, a Youth Group associated with the Opposition Virgin Islands Party (VIP) is focused on getting young people to make their voices heard come Election Day and will tomorrow February 28, 2015 have as part of its car wash and fun day a voter registration exercise.

“…the Ready Committee is proud to invite the public to their first fundraiser on Saturday February 28, 2015. Come out and get to know the ‘Ready Committee’ as you get your car washed and enjoy some good music,” said a press release from the youth organization.

The ‘Ready Committee’ encouraged persons to bring out the entire family as there will be entertainment for all ages. “You can look forward to a bouncy fun house for the kids, local food for sale, a dunk tank and much more fun.”

This event will be held in the CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank parking lot in Road Town from 10 AM- 6 PM.

“The members of the ‘Ready Committee’ ask that persons use this opportunity to find out more about the organisation including how to join,” said the release.

President of the ‘Ready Committee’ Rajah A. Smith encouraged all to bring along the entire family “as it’s going to be a family filled event and at the same time you can have your car washed.” Mr. Smith said tickets are still available for the car wash portion and cars are $20.00 and SUVs are $25.00.

The group is named ‘Ready Committee’ because they are ready to rally in the support of the VIP. The goal of this organization is to raise the issues that face young people of the Virgin Islands directly such as jobs, education, crime, and entrepreneurship.

In an invited comment, Public Relations Officer of the Ready Committee Aashaud D. L. Lewis said that the event is much more than a car wash and fun day. “We will be raising funds to do more committee related events and to do some charitable work and to help out in the community. We will also be donating part of the proceeds to the BVI Cancer Society. It is going to be a lot of fun,” said Lewis.

He said too that the primary aspect of the day’s events would be the voter registration exercise which he said aims towards getting young people to be registered and ready for voting.

“It is important to vote because we as youths are the next generation. If we continue to just sit down and sit back and do nothing or say nothing, nothing won’t happen. So we are encouraging the youths to come out and get registered. Every vote counts. Your one vote might be the decision vote,” he said.

For more information members of the public can call President Smith at 340-1546 or the Public Relations Officer Lewis at 542-5467.

    BVI woes can be summed up in the few following:
    1. Limited resources and 2. over population. Eg electricity, water, internet, jobs. The result, crime unmanaged, people stealing food to feed family, organizations begging for food to feed families (thanks for helping to feed families). These are foreign traits for the BVI but 3 years of the current administration this dysfunction has been embraced and defended as normal. Everyone here whether you from here or not need to stop this dysfunction and reject this. You didn't leave your home for this.
    3. Poor management. The current administration got their chance to run the country. Compare then to now.
    4. No balance. Every so weeks or so big bacanal on a social site. Who from here vs who aren't from here. Who black vs who white. Are you not sick of this? Why were we able to peacefully co exist years ago? Has an unbalance been struck? Has the pendulum swung and remained in one direction? Yes to these questions. Well it needs to get fixed and balance restored. How can the country move forward when we are at war with each other?

    From an objective view VIP has done the better job on the above. Poverty and victimization were foreign under their leadership. Respect flourished. Balance was maintained.

You want bells and whistle where everyone can earn a living, see begging stop, young minds be productive, a wholesome society and a pristine English territory that BVI once was, the one that attracted you here in the beginning - do not vote NDP.

    When the motor crisis happened during the recession Ford even though it was financially strong went to Washington to support the other struggling auto makers seeking bail out money and speak on their behalf. Ford did not need nor take bail out money. The reason Ford did this was they knew if they allowed the other companies to go down it was only a matter of time before they failed. They understood a healthy auto environment was vital.

    Translate this to British Virgin Islands then we are talking about the quality of life and why it is so vital that no one is overlooked. What is the sense of living in palatial abode if you can't sit a night out in peace having dinner without worrying about them. Spending more money on security than you do on vacation. Doesn't it make more sense to step in like Ford did and make sure the quality of life here is improved?

I don't blame them, people who attend was youth begging their friends to come. Big joke what fraser talk about salt island, let the people live tell us about the island and why they migrate let them speak the truth, fraser don't know anything about salt island, than a body was found over there floating that's all. Like my grandmother said whoever get in they have to do there job for 4yrs and if the people don't like how low or fast the party was moving they are just in it for money fame or to get rich lying to the people, but in the end the almighty is the ruler for this country

    I read these blogs and its sad, so sad. Tortola use to be a lovely place. VIP and NDP supporters all make me sick with your small minded childish behavior. You have so much maturing to do. Campaigning doesn't have to make us seem so illiterate and ignorant. Truth though the NDP has caused a divide both between our locals and also between the locals and foreigners. You see, this gives them their strength...divide and conquer. Growing up here everyone got along. It didn't matter black or white, from every island or country. We Tortolians spent days sleeping, eating and drinking in our island neighbors homes with lots of love and affection. No I from here you from there. Many who come now come with a different passion but in all fairness some receive a different reception. People forget this negative tactic that...if you look back came into play only with the rise of the NDP. Lets LOVE one another, the greatest commandment...The Bible never fails. It will break down all barriers. Only we can turn this country around and make it better for you and me and our children. Politicians spoil everything. Bunch of political hogwash. Give love, receive love, vote for whomever YOU chose and be happy!!!

Ok, so if we don't have money why are we spending so much and getting all these massive loans. WHO paying them back, not me. How many of these projects are necessities? How many are investments with returns? How are we going to recoup these monies. I guess it will be A SAD 4 YEARS in the BVI for ALL after this election. NO NO, Really No money to spend this time. PLUS... Departure fees gone up, vehicle licensing fees gone up, work permit fees gone up! Land tax, passport fees, trade license fees, taxes...and then the trickle down effect..food, cable, water, rent, mortgage,electricity, gas, tires..everything gone up and it stays up and it stays up.

    IF the ready committee was really about youth empowerment, they would have launched with a job fair and youth education program. The real issues affecting the youth are not VIP or NDP, it's proper training and access to opportunities. No Government can do it all so the duty of such groups is to pick up the slack. So far I have heard the leader of the committee bash the Government and Ministers personally, make some very ignorant comments on the radio/online and raising funds washing cars so they can defend Fraser and the VIP. This won't be going anywhere too fast as far as I can see because the motive was never the youth. It's about getting people to vote for Fraser and VIP.
