Lions Begin Planning for the Third Annual Health & Wellness Fair
Planning for the third annual St. Maarten Lions Health and Wellness Fair, which is scheduled for Saturday 26th March at the Festival Village, has begun. The organizing committee met on Saturday last to discuss and distribute tasks among the membership, including the contacting of stakeholders and participants and review of logistics.
Chairperson of the Health Committee Lion Wally Havertong stated: "While the fair is approximately seven weeks away, there is a lot of planning involved. It is important that all stakeholders, including the Government’s Health Department, Diabetes Foundation, insurance and medical services providers, White & Yellow Cross, Divico Distributors, Mental Health Foundation, among others, get on board as early as possible to guarantee the success of the fair for a third consecutive time. The fair has proven to be a medium through which all people, from all walks of life can obtain information on health issues, get tested free of charge and ultimately can take steps to get additional professional help or simply live a more healthier life based on the principles of information provided by the relevant stakeholders. I encourage all our past and potential stakeholders to contact our club and get on board early."
Stakeholders may contact Lions Wally Havertong, Jessica Vrolijk or Jimmy Challenger for registration via numbers: 520-3358 or 52-40497 or 52-33587. As is customary the club is preparing to arrange the provision of Food and Drink and the setting up of a kiddie’s corner for parents wishing to bring their children along. Basically the event will remain a family affair, as heath awareness is for the young and old alike. The Club will commence a series of marketing initiatives to keep the public abreast of all developments leading up to the fair on March 26th.
