ST. MAARTEN (Dec. 3, 2010) – Royal Resorts Caribbean, management company for Pelican Resort Club and Pelican Marina Residences, is sponsoring Kingdom Day with a Toys for Tots program in support of St. Maarten's underprivileged youth. Royal Resorts is continuing this vital program, first launched in 2008 for the children of St. Maarten who would otherwise go without that special Christmas feeling and the joy of giving (and receiving a toy for Christmas). This year's Toys for Tots program will take place at the Pelican Resort Club on Dec. 15."On the initiative of Royal Resorts Caribbean, the management company, Pelican employees and timeshare owners express their support by giving to the children in our community and we commenced the Toys for Tots program in 2008," said Jules James, general manager for Pelican Resort Club, pictured below with the children at last year's annual event.
"As we are all aware, Christmas is a time where people from all around the world spend time with family and friends and show they care by sharing gifts. With Royal Resorts Caribbean's support, we are able to put smiles on the faces of little children who would not ordinarily receive any gifts for the Christmas holiday season.," he added.
More than 60 children from foster homes and other children's organizations will be invited to Pelican Resort Club. With several employees serving as volunteers, the children will be treated to an afternoon of gifts, snacks and fun. As always, Santa Claus will be on hand to present the gifts ranging from educational materials and clothing to dolls, board games and sports equipment such as basketballs, footballs and volleyballs.The event will be held on Pelican's tennis courts with large inflatable games for the children to play, followed by snack time and the gift presentation.
