LAST LAP LIME

STILL THE BEST VALUE IN TOUGH TIMES

These are tough times we live in. For the last year, it seems as if each new dawn brings word of new economic disasters, of a global economy in such dire straits that even the experts remain hesitant in predicting an end.

We Guyanese (as granny will tell you) are a resilient bunch. We have weathered economic crises before; our grandparents, parents (and some of us) have moved entire families to new countries and begun anew, defying the odds by adapting, assimilating and eventually succeeding.  Each and every one of us possesses a spirit that remains steadfast when faced with adversity, taking comfort in the knowledge that we have conquered before and will conquer again. Indeed, even though serious times call for serious measures, we are all familiar with the old proverb of all work and no play.  We embrace this adage collectively, and perhaps, therein lies the secret of our success.

While hard work is imperative to success, the need to play, to let off steam, relax and recharge our batteries is also a vital part of the formula to surviving at anytime, but more so the times in which we currently live. The question then becomes not whether we should play, but where we should play, as the choices are many.  We believe that during Caribana, the Last Lap Lime returns the most value for your hard earned dollar. It is an all day affair for $15.00. All day entertainment is included in the price of admission. Liming is included. There is no charge for the countless friends you will meet. Gaff is free. Admission for children under twelve is free. Children’s entertainment is free. In addition, for 2010, we guarantee no increase in parking over last year, no increase in the price of any snack or food item, no increase in the price of any alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage.

Our suppliers have passed on increased costs to us. Rental costs have increased. We have lost sponsors as a result of the economy. Labour costs have increased. We have decided to pass none of these costs on to you.

Additionally, the Last Lap Lime remains first and foremost a fundraiser. 5 Canadian charities and 5 high schools in Guyana will receive every dime we raise again this year. They need our help now more than ever.

Tough times. But together we can weather it. Come out and lime with us once again at this year’s event. For $15.00 you can forget the world’s troubles for 1 day. Best event during Caribana. Best price during Caribana. Best people to lime with…Guyanese. Last lap Lime 2010. See you on August 2nd. Best place to be!
