PHILIPSBURG:--- The St. Maarten Lions Club made a donation of $2,500 to "MOMS" to assist them in organizing a Carnival Float for the Grand Carnival Parade on Wednesday April 30th.
"MOMS" are a group friends & family members who came together and decided to make a difference in this year's 45th Carnival Celebration. "MOMS" knew of the presence of floats in the Carnival Parade in the past while growing up and seeing the presence of floats during the parade is now a rarity, the group decided to present to the public "Nemo & Friends, A Spectacular Children's Float".
Seeing that emphasis was specifically placed on youth in the club's 2013-2014 year program, the St. Maarten Lions Club felt the need to assist "MOMS" in bringing back this forgotten tradition while also having our youth be exposed to St. Maarten's Carnival Culture.
