Bruce Baxter is a local 'owner representative' and a hospitality consultant. Bruce introduced us to Harold Lovell, Minister of Finance. Although he has good contacts, there was something keeping us from assigning him.

Harold Lovell is the former Minster of Tourism. In 2007 he closed a deal with BAP (Willy Bermello) on the site of Valley Church. A 200 room hotel would be developed on the 10 acres site of Valley Church. It has been said that the hotel would be operated by InterContinental. Harold Lovell says: Who shows money first can develop Valley Church.

Meeting with Brian d'Ornellas and Baldwin Spencer to discuss the MOU, the waiting for reply, the role of the AG (Justin Simon). PM doesn't see big issues, and refers to the AG to reply.

The Attorney General Justin Simon is a friendly man who is pro Mamayoyo. He has never liked the deal with BAP.
-
Rene Vetter and Brian D’Ornellas spoke with Fitzmaurice Christian and he suggested that a purchase price of US$2.7mm for the twenty acres was a fair value of the land and that a lease payment of approximately two to three times the amount we originally set forth in the MOU, which was EC$5,000 per acre, would be adequate based on the new purchase price. Therefore, we increased the lease payment to EC$12,500 per acre—two and half times the original amount.

We have been asked by the friendly owner of Mama Shelter (a.o. Serge Trigano who has been a founder of Club Med)... to change our name...

Dear ...Inspired by Andrea del Sarto (Less is more), we announce that today we have changed the name Mamayoyo Family Resorts into M-Family Resorts. After an amicable discussion with the owners of a well known hotel operating company we have come to this decision. The development of M-Family Resorts, like the adventures on Antigua & Barbuda, can now be followed at www.m-familyresorts.com. For further information or questions do not hesitate to contact me or visit our development site.Warm reg

We agreed on:A&B Government will provide us the parameters for the development of the site of Valley Church. M-Family Resorts will study these parameters and will adapt our plan in order to approach these parameters. A&B Government will take all required measures to end the contracts concerning the existing joint venture (Valley Church Development Company) so the land and registration of Valley Church will be free to move. A&B Government will sign the proposed MOU
We show proof of funding -
We have raised the number of villa's from 60 to 88 which equals 210 hotel rooms.
