PHILIPSBURG:--- On Saturday, August 3rd the Rotaract Club of St. Maarten Sunrise held their first Hurricane Awareness Mission (H.A.M) for the year at the Sunny Foods supermarket. The HAM project is a means for the club to share important information about preparing for the Hurricane season, which peaks during the months of August and September. During the H.A.M event Rotaractors approach customers and request donations of non-perishable items. Clothing and shoes in good condition can also be donated. All items that are collected at the event will be donated to a non-profit organization for them to use and distribute in case of a natural disaster. This month the items collected were donated to the K1 Britannia Foundation.
This annual project is done on the first Saturday of every month from August to November during the hurricane season. The next H.A.M. event will be on Saturday September 7th at Carrefour in Bush Road from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
