Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty joined other community minded local business houses, in support of The Rotary Club of Abaco’s Fire Hydrant Project. This project was started over two years ago by Rotary, with the objective to install much needed fire hydrants throughout Marsh Harbour and the neighboring communities of Dundas and Murphy Town. With the terrible fires in the “Mud” that destroyed over 50 homes and more recently, “Sapodillas Restaurant” and “Maxwell’s Grocery Store”, this request from the Marsh Harbour Volunteer Fire Department, has become a matter of urgency in the Community.
Working from the Marsh Harbour office, our own Bill Albury, as Grants Chairman of The Rotary Club of Abaco has worked tirelessly to steer this effort to raise over B$40,000.00 within the community. The local fund raising campaign has been successful and now The Rotary Club of Abaco is making an application for a grant through Rotary “Partner Clubs” in Florida and Rotary International, whereby the locally raised funds would be matched and re-matched, to the tune of nearly B$150,000.00. This grant, if successful, will not only install over 50 fire hydrants but will also buy a much needed tanker truck and fire fighting gear for the Fire Department.
Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty is pleased to be associated with The Rotary Club of Abaco and this most special of community projects. We wish Bill and his group every success in their grant application. It is because of the determination of special people like Bill Albury that the Abacos continue to develop and progress.
