Greetings, members and supporters,

We are excited to begin spring 2023 with extended days and warmer months ahead. We are encouraged by the signs that COVID-19 infections are declining, and our communities are once again coming together in fellowship to celebrate new beginnings as evidenced by the turn out at our spring luncheon on April 1st, 2023. This amazing event was sold out and enjoyed by all in attendance.

Spring is also a time to reflect on our health, a time to take long walks, breathe fresh air, enjoy the early blooms and fellowship with family and friends. We must not however lose sight that many in our communities here in the USA and in our beloved Jamaica, continue to suffer significant hardship. The cost of living and health care has increased with little or no adjustment in income. Vulnerable groups already challenged with making ends meet rely heavily on organizations like AMBSCC and others to get through these times. We are uniquely positioned and ready to respond to these needs because of generous donations and support from our members and supporters.

In the coming months we will celebrate our 30^th anniversary, hosting a fundraising gala at the Atlanta Airport Marriott Gateway located at 2020 Convention Center Concourse, Atlanta GA 30337. It is sure to be a phenomenal event with live entertainment for your dancing pleasure. Our last few events have been sold out, so we encourage you to get your tickets early. The annual Vin Martin Health Mission is scheduled for October 9^th through the 12^th 2023 and we are counting on your support to help us continue bringing much needed health services, medications and supplies to Montego Bay and surrounding communities.
