TREASURE CAY, Abaco -- Governor General Sir Arthur Foulkes and Lady Foulkes began their first official visit to Abaco on Monday 7 November, enjoying an exuberant welcome at the Treasure Cay International Airport, including an honour guard of Royal Bahamas Defence Force Rangers.  

They were welcomed by North Abaco Administrator Theophilus Cox and other government officials along with civic and religious readers. The warm welcome extended to a joint assembly of S.C. Bootle High School and Cooper's Town Primary under the theme, "Giving Honour".  

Following entertainment by students from both schools including a soulful interpretive dance by Grade 3 student A' Joya Sands, choral speaking, an acrostic and music, Sir Arthur continued the One Bahamas theme he has relayed on official visits throughout The Bahamas.  

His message of celebrating the unique history of each Family Island as an integral part of "the archipelago of opportunities" which constitutes the Bahamian experience, was warmly received by school administrators, teachers, parents and students.
