National Trust enlists year’s achievements
The Annual General Meeting of the National Trust for the Cayman Islands was recently held with a view to introduce the new Council and to announce its most recent achievements.
Now the National Trust holds about 2 700 acres of land in trust for future generations as during the past year it increased its land holdings by 177 acres. It has already entered into an agreement to buy a further 3 acres at the southern end of the Mastic Trail. Due to this acquisition of land a parking lot and restrooms will make the Mastic Trail experience more convenient.
As to fundraising highlights for the year, these included the 20th Anniversary Gala Dinner and Auction that raised over USD 40 000, and the Art Auction hosted by Governor Stuart Jack that raised over USD 50 000.
All in all, each of the National Trust’s programmes got a significant success over the past year.
