Tanks to the resort owners, staff, and guests, the Old Road Fund has, to CONSIDER THIS UNIQUELY refreshing approach to holiday travel: a vacation that allows you and your family to give as much as you receive, while sacrifcing no creature comforts along the way. Tis is just one of the many reasons guests return year after year to An- tigua's Curtain Bluff, where for forty years, the resort and those who've stayed there have given back to the community. In fact, as much paradise- flled pleasure as the locale has given to its guests—in the form of two idyllic beaches and perfect year-round tem- peratures—the resort has given back to those who call the area home, thanks to its Old Road Fund program.

Funds have also provided medi- cal and emergency relief to the local community—a community that is as much a part of the resort as the sand on its beaches and the bluff for which it's named. In fact, just this past summer alone, the fund sent six local children to a summer camp in Maine, supported fourteen students in worldwide universities, and built a new fence, football feld, tennis court, and two playgrounds for the local Old Road Primary School.
