Disaster in Paradise

Americans love to vacation in the Caribbean, but sometimes tragedy strikes. Last fall the area was hit by two devastating hurricanes that left a lot of damage behind. The islands’ economy depends on tourism, so, while the residents are working toward recovery, they are encouraging tourists to come visit. Join Marj Stark on a trip to the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and St. Maarten to see the tropical sights, as well as some of the devastation. Marj also visited the Everglades and Key West in Florida. Free and open to adults; no signup needed. Light refreshments available at 9 a.m. Info: Robin at flynn@noblenet.org or 978-921-6062.
