I did some 'quick' net searches for you, Janet; came up blank, but that doesn't mean anything much from here in the US with the little time I had to look.

If anyone, Charles would know where you can get hold of a sewing machine. I'll bet he'd gladly lend you his [wife's] if you made him a decent outfit ... especially one that repels beer spills. LOL

A few more serious suggestions:

** Aruba Chamber of Commerce
Kamer van Koophandel
auachamber@setarnet.aw
www.arubachamber.com


** Women's Club of Aruba
President 2003/2004 Vivian Storm-Croes
(Affiliated with Federation of Women's Clubs)
General meeting First Tues. of the month
Tel: (297) 588-4522, Fax: (297) 588-4485


** The Concierge of the hotel where you're staying !SHOULD! take on such a challenge.


** You might even ask hotel Housekeeping staff. You know these folks work very long hard hours and many have their hands full with family after work. Are you willing to trade off the loan of a sewing machine for helping, say a chambermaid, get something made or mended for her family? Ask.

Just thoughts ... ...
