Last Friday, October 18th over 100 senior St. Maarten residents enjoyed a lagoon cruise aboard the Explorer along with Rotarians from the Rotary Club of St. Maarten and the Rotary Club of St. Maarten Mid-Isle as well as Interactors from Learning Unlimited, Milton Peters College and St. Maarten Academy. This was the 28th year this event was hosted by the Rotary Club of St. Maarten. Entertainment was provided by The Rhythm Boys.
Rotary Club of St. Maarten President Maria Buncamper-Molanus said, "I can not sufficiently express my gratitude to Marc Groeneveldt and his team of Rotarians and Interactors, who made this event seem so effortless. Russell Bell, as usual, got our Seniors to the boat on time and returned them to their destinations safely. On behalf of the Rotary Club, I want to thank the local business community, in particular, the numerous restaurants that provided great food, and of course, those that provided the beverages for the day".
Later on that same day many Rotarians, guests and members of the public once again boarded the Explorer for an evening party cruise, as a fundraising effort to offset the costs of the daytime seniors cruise. Party goers were treated to the electrifying sounds of the Logix Band.
When asked to sum up the day, President Maria Buncamper-Molanus, simply said, "a grand time, both day and night, was had by all".
