Philipsburg:--- President of the St. Maarten Carnival Development Foundation (SCDF) Stuart Johnson (right) and Treasurer of the foundation Erno Labega (left) met with Managing Director of Scotiabank, Elie Bendaly last week. Scotia has been one of the foundation's premier partners for years, annually covering the cost for the official Carnival schedule of events, posters and uniform shirts. Bendaly expressed his appreciation for the foundation being able to meet with him much earlier than previous years. He also said he would be exploring the possibility to having his employees wear Carnival t-shirts every Friday during the Carnival period and would, as he has in the past, encourage businesses and the entire community to decorate for Carnival. The SCDF continues its early preparations for Carnival 2011 by meeting with sponsors, service providers and other stakeholders. The meetings will intensify after the Christmas holidays.
