CUL DE SAC:--- St. Maarten's general pension fund administrator, APS, has entered final arrangements for this Friday's pension awareness conference. Among the preparations is the providing of bus transportation from various districts to the conference site, for pensioners attending the conference.
This special service will be provided exclusively in the morning to facilitate persons attending the morning session of the day's two part program.
The bus service is to facilitate those pensioners that may not have their own transportation to get to the conference site. Buses with an APS sign visible will be picking up pensioners at 6:30 a.m.
Shuttle bus service for pensioners begins boarding at 6:30 a.m. and departs at 7:00 a.m. sharp.
Pick-up locations are in Philipsburg at the taxi/bus stand in front of the Government Administration Building on Clem Labega Square, in Cul –de- Sac at the parking lot of Le Grand Marche Supermarket and in Cole Bay at the Texaco gas station.
The early pick-up will allow the attendees to arrive at the conference in time to register, ahead of the official opening of the conference at 8:30 a.m.
Special arrangements are being made to accommodate those walking, as well, when they arrive at the Sonesta Maho Beach Resort.
Refreshments will be available for those attending the morning session for pensioners. The one day conference will be divided into two sessions, one for the pensioners of APS and the other one for the active participants of APS. The afternoon session for the active participants is to be concluded with a panel discussion which is to be followed by a cocktail hour.
With this conference, APS aims to raise awareness and to disseminate pertinent information regarding pensions in general, and aspects of the pension system, in particular. The conference theme will be 'Securing your pension makes cents'.
