The efforts of the ten teams of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club, MS to advice youths via their popular Say No/Say Yes Campaign received a major boost last Thursday. The Teams received close to $500,000 in cash and stationery from several business entities in Georgetown. The main objectives of the Campaign are to encourage youths to Say No to Drugs, Suicide, Alcohol, Crime, Tobacco and Yes to Life, Education, Sports, Religion and Community Service.

The 2019 Campaign would include the hosting of several educational programmes including Essay, Debating, Poster and Spelling Bee. The Teams would also be publishing the Club’s Annual Review Magazine, Youth Information Booklet and Educational Posters. Additionally the Teams would support the hosting of sporting events such as Cricket, Cycling, Football, Volleyball,
