PHILIPSBURG:--- DFS is working relentlessly to unite all Dominicans residing on St. Maarten/St. Martin, the motto of DFS is working with each other to create opportunities where members will prosper and bringing the communities together, stated Mr. Clayton Felix, President of DFS. The foundation organizes events that benefits St. Maarten/St. Martin, Dominicans residing on St. Maarten/St. Martin and the Commonwealth of Dominica. Most recently, DFS collaborated with the St. Maarten Guyanese Association in holding a Pre-Mother’s Day Dinner and Dance held at Emilio’s Restuarant. We chose to partner with the Guyanese Association because we would like to build a unity among the various National groups on the island. We are all residing on St. Maarten/St. Martin and we should maintain a peaceful relationship with not only the natives but with the other nationals as well, stated Mr. Felix. The event was very successful and it was a delight to see the interaction, this shows that even though we come from different nations we are still One Caribbean; we share similar culture and customs in more ways than one. Another highlight of the evening is a performance by the late Mi Pa Ben. When I asked him to do a small performance as a representation of St. Maarten, he was very excited to do so and even offered his service free of charge, stated Mr. Felix. Throughout his performance Mi Pa Ben announced that Dominica is always dear to his heart because his first ever gig he performed was in Dominica.
DFS will be holding their general meeting on Thursday May 31, 2018 commencing at 7:30pm at the University of St. Martin. We will be discussing some very important and pressing topics that affect us all, states the secretary.
All Dominicans are invited and encouraged to attend this meeting. Persons interested in joining DFS may contact President Clayton Felix at +1721-5276801 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
