The St. Maarten Carnival Development Foundation (SCDF) is calling on all registered booth holders for Carnival 2011 to attend an "urgent meeting" on Tuesday, March 22. The meeting will take place at 7:30pm at the Government Administration Building.
This is the thirds final meeting before the Carnival season and "booth holders should use this opportunity to be informed of all relevant rules and regulations. Furthermore, the SCDF stated that booth holders should remember that if payment for their booth is not made by months end, the booth will be awarded to the next person in line.
The SCDF had arranged a payment plan for booth holders since January, but while some has taken advantage of this option, "many more have not," President of the SCDF Stuart Johnson said. "We started with early preparation in every facet of Carnival, booth holders included. To avoid any misunderstandings, we urge booth holders to attend on Tuesday and to start making payments. We do not want to face any unfortunate circumstances," he said.
