After 35 years in the catering business on St. Maarten - planning, organizing and executing events of all sizes here and on surrounding islands - I have noticed that there have been many great events that no one knows about! At the same time, there are other important events set for the same date as another event, unbeknownst to all organizers.

That's why we at Florijn Party Rentals & Management decided to sponsor this community service. I'm very glad to give something back to this great island. The goal of SXM EVENTS is to - for the first time - incorporate all events from both sides of the island into one site.

We hope that this helps you - whether you are choosing a date for your event, want others to know about your event, or want to find out more about what's going on on our island, SXM EVENTS is here for you.

In addition to finding events on the French and Dutch sides (each marked with their national flags), you will find highlights of events on surrounding islands. Besides events, we feature the following:

• Service club meetings, place and time
• Birthday announcements
• International days
     (i.e., Secretary’s Day, World AIDS Day, etc.)
• Nationally recognized days
• Church listings with service times

AND MUCH MORE!
So...mark you calendars!

In March 2006 it’s the 26th Annual Heineken Regatta!
In July 2006 it’s the “I Love My Goat Contest”!

We invite you to send us information on your next event.

Hoping that you enjoy SXM EVENTS!
