– President David Granger to deliver feature address
Plans for the successful hosting of the 26th annual awards ceremony of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club, MS are well on stream with several major sponsors coming on board. Club Patron, President David Granger has confirmed his participation as the Guest Speaker, while Veteran Cricketer Khemraj Mahadeo and West Indies female player Shemaine Campbelle has been confirmed as the Male and Female Cricketer of the Year respectively.
The Award ceremony would be held at the St. Francis Community Developers head office and would entail the honouring of over 40 Cricketers and Club officials. The Club would also be honouring outstanding teachers form the Lower Corentyne district, retired teachers from Region 5 and 6 and five role model police officers under its Tribute to Heroes programme.
The Club would also be paying tribute to its immediate past Patron, Ms. Beverly Harper by awarding her the RHTYSC, MS highest award – The Dolphin Award of Excellence while donations would be made to several schools.
Meanwhile, the Club’s plans for the hosting of the Award Ceremony over the weekend received major boosts from several donors. Insurance Company, North American Life Insurance Co Ltd donated a carton of 25 trophies, while Impressions, National Milling Company, Ricks and Sari, Agro Industries, The National Sports Commission, Shameer Baksh, Karen Raphael, Bakewell, Wood Pecker Sports, Jumbo Jet, New GPC INC, Joseph Lewis, Mings Products Ltd, The Gift Centre, John Lewis Styles, Paul Persaud, Bounty Farm Ltd, Royal Jewel House, Dr. Phillip DaSilva all making contributions.
Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster who is heading the Planning Committee for the 26th annual awards ceremony stated that all plans are in place and expressed gratitude to all the donors for their continued confidence in the organisation.
This year’s ceremony would be a smaller one when compared to the last fifteen years as Management has taken a decision to greatly reduce the prize package from $2.5M to about $1M.
This is to allow the Club to invest more into its Cricket development programme for youths between the ages of 8 to 15 years and its Berbice Wide Say No to Drugs, Suicide and Crime programme.
The Club, during the programme, would also be announcing plans for an ambitious County Wide Traffic Education Campaign that would take in school children and drivers in an effort to reduce the death rate on the roads.
