Philipsburg - On Sunday, January 25th 2009 at 6:00am to 8:30am the district of Cay Hill will bring together residents and community organizations. The starting location of the clean up is slated to be behind the "Executive Offices Building" adjacent Kooyman Mega Hardware Store. The Youth Link Foundation and the St. Maarten Pride Foundation has joined forces on this joint venture to get the district cleaned up. Members of the Rotary Sunrise Rotaract Club will also be volunteering. "This will be the first time the district has been the focal point of a clean up campaign and businesses in the area are also asked to join in," remarked Stuart Johnson president of the Youth Link Foundation. Jadira Veen of the St. Maarten Pride Foundation is calling on all residents to make use of this opportunity in beautifying their district by making it a cleaner one. Some residents of Cay Hill have been contacted to serve as possible "Street leaders" in an effort to stimulate interest and promote cleaner surroundings for those living there. Elderly and handicap persons living within the district are asked to contact Stuart Johnson on 522-0509 or Jadira Veen on 523-1188 should they require assistance with the removal of debris from their yard. The organizations are appealing to the residents to join as their participation is crucial to beautifying their district. "We are looking forward to the residents of Cay Hill and the entire population to support this venture," Johnson and Veen said via a joint press release.
