[h=5]Last Thursday November 29th at the Waterfront restaurant a members meeting of the ADSS was held. This association is engaged in the development of Sos?a. The Chairman opened the meeting with a word of welcome and especially for mayor Ilana Neumann, who was present as a listener. Then he started with a list of the various activities established under the auspices of ADSS: the painting by students of barrels, the musical Chicago, cleaning the beach, river cleaning and organizing a cycling race. Next Juan Perdomo did a report of the visit of the board to the capital where they met with several Government officials to discuss the concerns of the beach resort. One of the concerns is the massive decline in tourist numbers at the north coast since 2001. That number has since 2001 dropped by 70%![/h]

[h=5]Members meeting ADSS Association[/h] [h=5]But Guido Perdomo was very positive about the unannounced visit of the new President Danilo Medina to the north coast (Cabarete, Sos?a and Puerto Plata). It appeared that the President was aware of the problems and promised to take action. At the request of the commander of the tourist police (Politur) for 200 additional police officers, the president replied: No, you can not get 200! You will get 600 police men to ensure the safety of the tourists.
This was followed by a financial statement of the income and expenses of the association. If the association ADSS would like to proceed actively in the development of Sos?a, members should pay their dues more loyal. The meeting was attended by about 90 people.
The next meeting is scheduled for February 2013.[/h]
