Each has contributed towards the community
PHILIPSBURG:--- Minister of Public Housing, Environment, Spatial Planning and Infrastructure (Ministry VROMI) Hon. Maurice Lake would like to congratulate the six recipients of Royal Decorations who were inducted in the first King's Day celebration at Fort Amsterdam last week Friday.
The recipients are: Jan Beaujon, Maria Henry, Brunilda Francis-Illidge, Arlene Halley-Newhouse, Angela Richards-Huggins, and Christina Hodge.
"These honorees are truly unsung heroes who go beyond the call of duty to serve their community without any fanfare. I had the opportunity to know and work with some of the recipients and they are true role models who display a positive attitude for our next generation to follow.
"I've worked with former First Lady Angela Richards, on the board of Help our Children Foundation for more than 10-years serving the children of the country.
"I've also had the pleasure working with Christina Hodge, who is like a second mother to me who goes beyond the call of duty in serving our community.
"As Minister I am very happy to know that these recipients deserve the recognition for being team players and serving the community of Sint Maarten. Keep up the good works, because your contributions to society are there to see and have made a difference," Minister Hon. Maurice Lake said on Monday.
