The owners of Chopard and Versace boutiques in The Bahamas, Wayne Chee-a-tow and his wife Sylvia were hosts for the grand opening gala, with their son Rodney organizing the affair with plenty of glitz and glamour, fine food and drink! Gorgeous models, fireworks, movie stars, film folk, all made up for a first class event held at The Cloisters on Paradise Island.

Public Relations, Marketing and Advertising Agent, Peter Adderley was quoted in The Punch as saying, "Wayne and Sylvia Chee0a-tow shared the dream of Founder & Director of BIFF, Leslie Vanderpool, from day one.
