The Rotary Club of St. Maarten treated the clients and staff of the Sr. Basilia Center to a wonderful breakfast on Thursday morning. The second of it's kind; this year's event comes 10 days after valentine's day but lacked no love from all who made it possible. After arriving in the center's buss from the residence in Hope Estate as well as by coaster, provided by Russell Bell, from the St. John's Residence more than 70 persons, which included 33 clients, 22 staff members, 3 students and several Rotarians enjoyed a hearty breakfast made possible through the generosity of Geoff Heilmann of Chesterfields.
Tokens of appreciations were presented by the St. Maarten Rotary Club to management and staff of Chesterfield's restaurant and subsequently to the Rotary Club by the clients and staff of the Sr. Basilia Center.
On such a beautiful sunny day this activity would not have been complete without the boat trip through the Greatbay Harbour giving all on board a first hand view of the mega cruise ships in port as well as the many visitors enjoying Greatbay beach and boardwalk. Bobby's Marina without hesitation once again made this day memorable for all from the Sr. Basilia center and the Rotary Club of St. Maarten through their continuous support of these community service activities.
Having celebrated the 106th anniversary of Rotary on Wednesday February 23rd this breakfast and boat trip was an excellent way of demonstrating the essence of Rotary, which is to serve the community.
President of the Rotary Club Mr. Kishore Idnani, Community Service Director Maria Buncamper, board and other members would like to thank the Sr. Basilia Center for the work that is done by them to improve the quality of life of all whom in one way or the other are associated with the center. The Rotary Club would also like to thank Chesterfield's Restaurant, Russell Bell and Bobby's Marina for their continuous support.
