The American Embassy/"Consul" is here to take a lot of money from poor Dominicans who think they have achance for a VISA,NOT to help American Citizens!!!!!!

I am the Warden for the U.S. Embassy in the Cabrera area...everything between Gaspar Hernandez and Samana. You need me, send me a PM and I'll give you my telephone and email information.
What does "Warden" mean? Is that an official,paid position?

I know Ted Foster used to be the Assistant (or some other title) Consul for the North Coast. Is this still accurate? Have things changed?

The term ―"warden" is derived from the World War II ―"air raid warden" who alerted the public to danger. A warden system provides a reliable way for you to reach U.S. citizens/non-citizen nationals in the event of an emergency, disaster, or threat, and to distribute other information of interest to the private U.S. community (changes in section work hours and procedures, voting information, physicians list, etc.).
Wardens are usually, but not always, U.S. citizens/non-citizen nationals resident in the host country who volunteer their assistance to the U.S. citizen community. For example, the principal of the International School may not be a U.S. citizen. The manager of a hotel frequented by U.S. citizens may not be a U.S. citizen.
