PHILIPSBURG:--- On Saturday, January 11, 2014 more than 40 young leaders from the Interact Clubs across St. Maarten assembled at the University of St. Maarten to continue the leadership training they began in December. At the December session, held at Learning Unlimited, Interactors learned about project planning, budgeting, public relations and they practiced their presentation skills. This past Saturday morning was markedly different than the first workshop as the young leaders had the opportunity to present what they had learned in the form of full-fledged project presentations.
Interact Clubs from St. Maarten Academy, Milton Peters College, St. Dominic's High School and Learning Unlimited Preparatory School each delivered a detailed project presentations that will be undertaken by their respective clubs in the coming months. President of the Rotary Club of St. Maarten, Maria Buncamper-Molanus said, "We were completely blown away by the quality of the presentations and the clear evidence that each Interact Club comprehended the information presented at our first meeting in December. The Rotary Club of St. Maarten, in conjunction with CIBC First Caribbean Bank and Island 92 radio, will divide $1,500 between each of the participating clubs to allow them to start their projects. A job well done by all. I would like to encourage the community to support these young leaders, through sponsorship or otherwise. These young people are inspired, motivated and positive and deserve the support of the community".
The event was organized by the Rotary Club of St. Maarten and was sponsored by CIBC First Caribbean Bank, Office 1 Superstore, Domino's Pizza, Le Grand Marche, Prime Distributors, Cost U Les, the University of St. Maarten, Sheriff Security and the Administration of the Learning Unlimited Preparatory School.
