Urgent !!!!! Letter from the President.
Apreciable Atletanan y Mayornan di Aruba Dolphins,
Despues di hopi evaluacion y reunion Directiva di Aruba Aruba Dolphins a jega na e siguiente conclusión. Considerando e prijs asina costoso di Dutch Caribbenan di mas of menos Fls 1300, 00 pa adulto y muchanan riba 12 aña, y considerando e poco tempo mas cu nos tin pa recauda fondo nos lo no alcansa e cantidad di fondonan cu ta necesario pa bai Dutch Caribbean. En bes di Dutch Caribbean nos lo hasi tur esfuerzo, hunto cu tur mayor y atletanan, pa acumula mas fondo cu ta posible pa nos hasi NACO posible cu un grupo mas grandi cu ta posible y na un forma financieramente posible. Pues Directiva di Aruba Dolphins cu esaki ta notifica tur atletanan y nan mayornan cu lamentablemente nos mester cancela Dutch Caribbean pa hasi NACO 2008 posibel. Alabes nos ta pidi tur atleta y participante pa hasi nan maximo esfuerzo y coopera cu e comision di mayornan cu ta organisando e Bingo y tambe e fundraising swim marathon di 19 di April. Laga nos tur conhuntamente traha pa recauda suficiente fondo pa NACO 2008 y nos lo participa cu un grupo hopi grandi, incluyendo e grupo di 8 & under. Nos ta lamenta di mester a tuma e decision impopular aki, pero nos mester actua responsabel.
Cu saludos cordial
E. Cilié
Presidente
