~ Theme for St. Maarten/St. Martin Day ~
PHILIPSBURG--Education, Culture, Sports and Youth Affairs Minister Rhoda Arrindell has announced the organising committee for this year's St. Maarten Day, which she notes will be the first under the island's new constitutional dispensation.
The committee compromises Chairman Neville York, Secretary Fabiana Arnell, Cassandra Jansen, Urmain Dormoy and Lisa Coffi, along with Thierry Gumbs and Maria van Heyningen of the Collectivit� Territorial of St. Martin.
Arrindell said the programme of activities, decorations for the event and protocol matters were amongst items discussed. St. Maarten Day 2011 will be held under the theme "One Island, One People, One Destiny."
"We want to give a concrete expression to the idea of unity we proclaim each year on this day. Hence, I have asked the Committee to come up with suggestions of how we can demonstrate our desire for cooperation between both halves of the island, not just in words, but in a tangible way.
"I have full confidence in the Committee and I am sure we will have a St. Martin Day worthy of its name," she concluded.
