St. Maarten Senior Citizens Recreational Foundation

The foundation was founded in 1989 by Mrs. Beryl Parker Hazel. The function of the recreational center at Hope Estate is to provide an opportunity to senior citizens, being a member, to socialize with fellow elderly citizens at different moments. On public holidays and other special days, joint meals are organized to stimulate interaction between elderly members. Other social events organized are indoor and outdoor gaming. The foundation has a building that used to be suitable for organizing events but suffered severely from hurricane Irma. Once renovated, the facility can also be rented out to external parties in order to generate additional income.
