Posted by Rtn.Martha Pouchie

The St Martin Sunrise Rotary Club had the privilege of having as guest at our weekly breakfast meeting on Tuesday, Mrs. Carol Miller widowed of the Late Eye Specialist Bert Miller and long time friend and honorary members Steven and Kay Shepphard who made a donation to the "Bert Miller Funds"

a fund created in the name of Dr. Miller, an eye doctor by profession, who was a regular visitor of St. Maarten as a timeshare owner at Belair Hotel. Sadly, Dr. Miller passed away during his last visit on St. Maarten in March of 2008. At his memorial held on St. Maarten family and Belair Beach Hotel timeshare owners and guest donated funds towards eyeglasses for children in need, as they knew Dr. Miller would have wanted. Sunrise Rotary Club is very honored to have been chosen to identify these children in need and to therefore make the funds available to purchase the required eyeglasses.

So far, the Club has covered the full cost of four students and is finalizing donation to one student in the coming days. Sunrise Rotary Club would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Miller and the Shepphard's for their kind contribution that goes a long way in making life easier for our children of St. Maarten.
