PHILIPSBURG:--- The St. Maarten Lions Club recently served the community by their "Relieving Hunger project" when on Christmas Day itself the club went out and delivered warm meals, drinks, tarts, and gifts to many families all over the island. This volunteer activity occurred at St. Peters, South Reward, L.B. Scott road, Middle Region, Dutch Quarter, and French Quarter. Completion of the Lions club service project is a benefit to the community because it brought needed relieve on Christmas Day itself when many families on the island didn't have a meal to enjoy with their loved ones. The spirit of giving to mankind was especially uplifted when on Christmas Day itself we visited the families of those less fortunate in our midst.
According to Lion Claudio Buncamper, Club President of the St. Maarten Lions Club, "Money raised at our Christmas Bingo will allow Lions to meet pressing needs in our community including serving the needs of the many persons in need of vision care, educational needs, health needs and the development of young person's just to mention a few. Lion's members thank everyone who contributed to this important work. You are truly helping Lions make a difference in our community."
The St. Maarten Lions Club has 52 members and meets on every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month at the Lions Civic Center in Sucker Garden. Lions clubs are a group of men and women who identify needs within the community and work together to fulfill those needs.
