DECEMBER GENERAL MEETING
THURSDAY 9th JANUARY 2025 at 7:30pm

The guest speaker  (To Be Announced)




Thanks for making the Yuletide Affair a big success

Sunday 8th December 2024 was a day to remember in the DMV for the members of the Trinidad & Tobago Association of Washington, DC and their friends. Their Yuletide Affair this year was celebrated in memory of the late Lyndon Smith, a member of the "Hard Pong Rhythm Section", a group that has been an integral part of TTADC entertainment over the years. The evening started with an angelic prayer offering in song by Ms. Jasmine Brann which prepared the audience for a scrumptious meal, while being entertained by the steelband duo of Robert 'Bullit' Thwaites and Michael George, followed by dancing to the sweet soca sounds of DJ Super Slice and DJ Wayne.  At the end of it all, everyone was on their feet, prancing and having a blast. To everyone's surprise, our former Ambassador Anthony Phillip-Spencer and his wife Joanne showed up for the celebration causing a mild uproar, as his admirers realised that he was with us again. The evening ended with a raffle of gift baskets with items donated by members, Carlos Simon, Luis and Monique McSween (Caribeat), Nigel Scott, Duane Scott and Claudia Carter. Mrs. Patricia St. Hill was the grand prize winner of a beautiful painting by Trinidadian Artist, Mr. Peter Rolle.  

The Executive Board and the Events Committee wish to thank our members, attendees, entertainers, caterers, and all service providers who contributed to making this event an overwhelming success.  We wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a bright and prosperous 2025.

TRINIDAD & TOBAGO REPURPOSES WALLERFIELDt

Reprinted courtesy FMI: www.tamana.com

A place that once played an important role in winning the second World War will now play a critical role in winning new investments through the country of Trinidad & Tobago's first Science and Technology Research Park - Tamana InTech Park. The island Republic in the Caribbean has repurposed the Waller Field Air Force Base, a former United States World War II Air Force base located in northeastern Trinidad, to satisfy the country's goal of transforming its booming energy-based economy to a knowledge-based one.

Waller Field AFB was activated in September of 1941 to establish a flying facility within the United States Army Fort Read post, to protect the oilfields and refineries, and to stand guard over the merchant ships that gathered in the Gulf of Paria. The air force base was named after United States Army Air Force Major Alfred J. Waller, a distinguished World War I combat pilot.

The air force base experienced many shifts in its use after World War II and closed May of 1949 due to budget cuts. Now, Five decades later, the former Air Force base has been transformed into Tamana InTech Park.

Tamana InTech Park claims it stands out for its cutting-edge technology tailor-made for cross-linked business opportunities and resource clustering. Situated among moriche palms on a natural reserve, supported by the on-site campus of University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT), and outfitted with state-of-the-art telecom and security systems, the Park is both technologically advanced and relevant to its natural environment. The Park's Tier III data centre is one of only a few in the region and offers a complete suite of data centre services for Tamana's tenants.

"Tamana InTech Park is an example of the country's ICT readiness," said Angela Hordatt, Vice President of Business Development at Evolving Technologies and Enterprise Development Company Ltd. [eTecK], one of the implementing agencies under the Ministry of Trade & Industry in charge of developing Tamana InTech Park. "The park is well positioned to become a home for global companies and site selectors, with plenty of room to meet a company's existing and future needs."
