When Juan Pascual was elected to chair the Dominican Night Committee last year, accepting the position Pascual promised to work hard with his team to bring a good artistic cast for that night. Although he did not advance any further information, he said at that time that he would bring the biggest and the best Dominican Night ever held and for that reason they would need the Bernstein Stage at Campagnone Common.
Knowing Pascual’s connections within the entertainment industry, no one doubted, it was a matter of waiting. The wait was not long; soon he announced he had hired as the main entertainment for the event the internationally known and idol of the crowds Toño Rosario. No wonder he was going to need the Campagnone Common.
We wondered if Pascual was going to be able to resurrect the defunct Dominican Day Parade. No doubt he succeeded and to show it, he is determined to keep the Dominican Night as one of the main events of the year, he and his team conducted an Awards Night on Saturday, March 12, 2016, in order to highlight the outstanding work done by this group of people providing with their efforts a great Dominican Night 2015.
As Chairman of the Committee, Juan Pascual, promised to repeat it in 2016 but will no longer be under his leadership and soon they will be holding elections to choose the new board including the president, he announced.
Now the concern is, will Pascual be reelected, if the statutes of the Dominican Night Committee permit or would he be replaced by someone who does not have the same drive? Will he continue, if not re-elected, to extend his cooperation and support for the Night so it survives without jeopardizing quality?
This is something that the committee members and a new president should demand from themselves. The community deserves it!
