WARNING: IF YOU ARE STANDING YOU BETTER SIT DOWN TO READ THIS OR AT LEAST... HANG ON TO SOMETHING SOLID. Gryo Magazine is about to revolutionize the way people shop and save money. Many of our readers shared with us their concerns about their budget and economic ordeal. We understand. Therefore, we are planning on evolving into the Gryo DOLLAR Club to allow our readers to receive huge discounts and deals from all businesses advertising in Gryo Magazine. In return, the businesses and entepreneurs will enjoy more customer traffic and more sales. Listen to this, for just $1 a month, our readership can start saving between 10 and 50% on every business being advertised in Gryo Magazine.
Now that’s a deal! Personnally, I would definitely give a dollar a month to be able to save 200, 50 or even $20 a month. Most shopping clubs cost $50 a year (Some cost $10,000 a year, you know what I am talking about) to let you buy in bulk and nobody really see the difference in savings. As a member of the Gryo DOLLAR Club, you will enjoy great benefits of having more money left in your pockets while reading your favorite messages on Gryo Magazine For any question about the upcoming Gryo DOLLAR Club call us at 1-888-917-6925 or email us gryomagazine@gmail.com

wha t ever y o u w a n t There is no conspiracy against you to keep you down. As a matter of fact, noone can stop you. Wealth, education, opportunity is not monopolized. Your dream is not far away. The time to be happy with who you are is NOW. The time to start LIVING your DREAM is NOW. You are not missing anything. You have all you need. Trees grow naturally, you succeed naturally, that’s a fact. You can only fail if you THINK you are going to.
Have you ever did something easily that other people are having a hard time doing? How did you feel just before you start? I bet you were saying to yourself: That’s easy, I am the best at this. I don’t have to worry, it’s fun. Well, think like that about everything, and see what happen. gryo magazine

abrera is a exceptionaly beautiful and vibrant town in María Trinidad Sánchez province, Dominican Republic. It is located at the eastern end of the countr y’s north coast, 130 kilometres north of Santo Domingo. Today it is the fastest growing ocean town on the North Coast. Multiple real estate projects are in progress that bring hundreds of job opportunities and prosperity to this magnificent area. Town offers many public schools, as well as private one, lots of entertainment at weekends and holidays, prestine unspoiled crystal clean ocean and the most hospitable people in the Island! The Dominicans themselfs consider this town as the best vacation spot for weekends and holidays within the country. Today Cabrera has a territorial area of 276 km² and population of 39,000 people. The current mayor is Jorge Cavoli, the youngest of all mayors on the Island. Cavoli was born in Cabrera and leads the town in one of the most economically stable times ever. A strong foreign community works closely with Cavoli to enhance the safety, serenity and beauty of the town through various charitable foundations. Also, with the support of Cavoli the urban project called Urbanizacíon Los Cabos was started up. This development provides 20% expansion of Cabrera town which is necessary due to ongoing rapid growth of the primary and secondary home market for local and foreign population. (!!!) A new highway connecting the Samaná peninsula to Santo Domingo and through-passing Cabrera town is rumored to finally open to the public this summer, 2008. This is expected to halve the driving time to the country capital from 4 hours to 1.5 hours as it is a straight 120km.
