That is peace of mind, for at least a year, in harsh economic times. The second and third prizes are also very exciting offers. But it’s our community involvement that is going to identify what LIME is all about. We have also identified leading Caribbean entertainers and added a Caribbean Christmas flavor to the promotions. Have fun with us for Christmas.”
