Rotaract Club places Fire Victims First Priority.

Philipsburg:--- The Rotaract Club of St. Maarten Sunrise, a community service based organization will be conducting a special Hurricane Awareness Mission at Sunny Foods Supermarket on Saturday September 1st 2012 from 11:00 am-2:00 pm. Over the weekend, 11 persons became homeless after fire broke out in their homes causing them to lose everything. Due to this unfortunate incident, The Rotaract Club is taking the initiative by honoring our third H.A.M to the victims affected by this disaster. The members of the Rotaract Club is asking the general public to come on out to Sunny Foods on Saturday and donate non-perishable food items, clothes and shoes to assist our fellow citizens.

Rotaract's Hurricane Awareness Mission is a project whereby the club members collect non-perishable items from customers shopping at the supermarket. The items collected are then given to the local Red Cross in the event of a hurricane or natural disaster. If there are no natural disasters, The Red Cross distributes the items to persons in the community that are in need.

The members of the Rotaract Club of St. Maarten Sunrise would like to extend its appreciation and gratitude towards members of the community that made and will continue to make contributions to Rotaract's H.A.M project. The club will continue with this project throughout the hurricane season, scheduling their donation drives on the 1st Saturday of the month from 11:00am to 2:00 pm until November 2012. Other than can foods, persons can also donate clothing at the club's H.A.M events. The Rotaract Club of St. Maarten Sunrise encourages the community to assist the victims of the fire disaster so they can get back on their feet. The club also encourages the general public to continue supporting the Club with their efforts to maintaining service above self which is the club's motto.
