By Oswald Ellis

Freeport, Grand Bahama - The Red Rose Ball Committee has been at the centre of HIV/AIDS Awareness in Grand Bahama for the past Ten (10) years. On November 7th, 2009 at the Grand Ballroom Radisson at Our Lucaya, we will celebrate our 10th Anniversary of promoting and educating through the Grand Bahama AIDS Awareness Committee the successful message of “Prevention Now!” The main focus of the committee is the provision of much needed funding to GBAAC for ensuring that their goals of informing the general populous of HIV/AIDS on an Annual basis is achieved.

The Red Rose Ball Committee is well known for its ability to create the most enchanting evenings of entertainment, elegance and ambience at our Annual Ball. It is the most sort after gala event in Grand Bahama , garnering the attendance of the most affluent organizations and individuals throughout the Bahamas as well as our neighbouring Caribbean Islands and the United States of American. We have been privileged to have Ambassadors, Prime Ministers and Premiers, Global Medical Industry Leaders and more as our Honoured Guests many of who will be returning in support of our tenth year celebration.

Whilst we engage in this major accomplishment through your continued contributions, we will never loose site of our purpose for existing. The Red Rose Ball Committee remains committed to the task of erecting an education and support centre for the use of information gathering and dissemination to the residence of Grand Bahama as we continue to take the lead in keeping the promise to stop HIV/AIDS. It has been a long journey and we have asked much of you, therefore our obligation to you is to ensure that your faith in our ability to succeed in this next phase of the journey remains strong.

Be prepared to enjoy a bedazzled evening of surprises as we bring our theme alive under the umbrella of "An Evening at The Taj Mahal". Indian infused decor of silks and precious gems and dimmed candle lights, will greet you at every twist and turn, the entertainment will engulf your being and caused you to engage in a night of blissful dancing and lively conversations. The prizes that await you are jaw dropping; you should bring your wallets with plenty of cash. Your pallets will be satisfied with the scrumptious meal, so elegantly displayed on your dinnerware that it will be difficult to decide whether to eat it or wrap it in a golden bow, yes the Chef is that great.

I leave you these words of encouragement and gratitude for your kindness, a famous quote from Albert Schweitzer," I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve. A man is truly ethical only when he obeys the compulsion to help all life which he is able to assist, and shrinks from injuring anything that lives". See you at the Red Rose Ball...........
