The Minister of Education, Culture, Youth and Sports (MECYS) is the gatekeeper of the country’s patrimony and as such, keeps a public register of protected monuments. The Minister writes in the registry, the monuments which have been designated as protected, citing the reasons of the monumental values and the public interest or for the protection of the general interests on the basis of which the monumental value is decided, distinguishing between movable and immovable monuments. The registration takes place after the period of public inspection of the decision on designation has expired. If a notice of appeal against a decision to appoint a monument in due time has been submitted, the corresponding monument will be registered, after the appeal is rejected.Philipsburg –The Toastmasters Clubs of Territory St. Maarten/St. Martin are hosting its 2016/2017 Club Officers’ Installation Ceremony on Saturday, June 25, 2016 at the American University of the Caribbean (A.U.C.) in Cupecoy.
