DEAR EDITOR,
The Patron, Management & Members of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club would like to express profound gratitude to every individual, NGO and Company who assisted the club or played a part – no matter how small – in helping us to fulfill our mandate in 2012.
2012 was another highly successful year for us, with over 160 programmes/projects completed; the test debut of Assad Fudadin, and our continued dominance of cricket in the ancient county. We also received the International Olympic Committee Award for Sports in March 2012.
The Club during the year was able to surpass its target of 140 programmes/projects due to the hard work, dedication and passion of every single club member, under the guidance of our Patron Ms. Beverley Harper and President Keith Foster, and this is despite the loss of millions of dollars worth of office equipment, sport gears and other items for the charity programme that were stolen as a result of four robberies at our club office during the year.
Among the programmes/projects completed in 2012 were the Annual Awards Ceremony, Cricket Academy, Annual magazine, Republic Bank Summer Camp, Patricia Moniz Educational Trust Fund, Basil Butcher Cricketers Trust Fund, Western Union Junior Ambassador Programme, Tribute to Heroes, Tribute to Head Teachers, Port Mourant Secondary School Teacher & Student of the Term, Lower Corentyne Outstanding Students Award, Gizmos & Gadgets Tribute to Teachers, Scotia Bank Tribute to Outstanding Teachers, Mother of the Year, Father of the Year, Busta Champion of Champions, Spelling Bee Competition, Essay Competition, Television Programmes, Printing of Educational Posters, Printing of Cricket Posters, Senior Citizens Luncheon, monthly hampers for less fortunate, Christmas Children Party for 700 kids, publishing of Berbice Cricket Board Annual Magazine, granting of Educational Scholarships and donations to countless NGOs, schools and churches.
Additionally, the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club has used its office to raise millions of dollars in both cash and materials for Berbice Cricket and also sponsored over 50 programmes for the Berbice Cricket Board.
We are grateful for the support of our sponsors who supported us in 2012. We would also like to express gratitude to members of the media for their coverage of our activities. Special thanks also to the countless supporters of the Club who backed us throughout the years by turning up at cricket matches, by offering moral support when we needed it most, and also for the criticism which kept us in line.
2013 promises to be a highly successful year for the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports club and we look forward to the continued support of our sponsors, the media and other well-wishers as we strive to make God’s world a better place.
Happy New Year to everyone.
