On Sunday May 17, 2009, several members of the VKS, as part of their ongoing community service program, once again visited the St. Maarten Zoo to lend their assistance.Approximately 15-20 VKS volunteers spent a few hours at the Zoo painting.
The VKS members were able to paint all of the railings on the boardwalk in the back of the zoo, as well as the stepping stones / platforms in front of the exhibits.
Major Jean Illidge and Captain Paul Martens stated that this is an important part of the VKS ‘s service to the community and they were glad to be able to offer help whenever they could.
The Board and staff of the St. Maarten Zoo are grateful and very appreciative of the help rendered by the VKS.
