Magda states this time of the year she uses to reflects
and motivate herself to keep on going. “It is a magic
time to me, the most beautiful part of the year.” That
reflection is something all can agree upon and for
Bea also counts the fact that she is with her family.
“We do not only feel the connection at home, at
work we have a family too and this season of the
year our collegial bond is extra strong.”q

They Make Christmas Shine

EAGLE BEACH — Casa del Mar Beach Resort & Timeshare offers you paradise: an
oceanfront location on the white sandy Eagle Beach, the amazing blue-green col-
ored Caribbean ocean, wonderful luxury oceanfront or poolside timesharing suites
and a world of amenities like a spa, restaurants, a pool and a gym. But there is one
time of the year that comes with an extra touch: the Christmas season. At the resort
there is a quartet that makes Christmas sparkle: meet the Holiday Committee of
Casa del Mar Beach Resort & Timeshare.

Bea or Bee Schwengle-Geerman is Membership and Reservations Coordinator,
Magda Fingal-Maduro is Room Attendant and Geraldine Marina Coello’s function
is Housekeeping Coordinator. They are friends and colleagues and together with
Omar Tromp, the Maintenance Coordinator, they form the Christmas Committee
of the resort.

Cheer Up
The four make sure the resort look cheerful during this holiday season as a great
ambiance makes people happy and smile. Bea: “The Christmas season is the most
wonderful season to me, I love it. I can get lost decorating and help others in that
matter too. At home I help my nieces, nephews and sisters with transforming their
house into a Christmas fairytale.” Geraldine explains that they are responsible to
dress up all corners of the resort, from the offices to the membership lounge to
the lobby. “The materials are here already, but in case we need more it is our task
to purchase them too. We decide on where to put what. I have been doing this
already for 9 years, so we know how to organize.” The committee also assists in or-
ganizing the employee Christmas Party on December 16th and the end of the year
party that will take place in the Members Lounge.

Deeper Meaning
The ladies explain that Christmas is not just a festivity to them. They were raised with
the deeper meaning of it and prepare to go to church. “It is embedded in our
culture as a religious experience and we work towards that special day during the
complete month. It may not be like this for all, but most certainly to us the believing
is the most important part”, Bea says.

Casa del Mar would like to welcome

you to their family of owners with suits
available for sale or rental year round.
