As the 29th Annual Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC) Awards ceremony draws closer to its May 19 date, Jacobs’ Jewellery and Kings Jewellery have thrown their support behind the event while the National Sports Commission (NSC) has injected a significant sum into the body’s Say No/Yes programme.
According to the club, over 80 persons will be awarded for their outstanding contributions in 2018 when the event unfolds at the St. Francis Community Developers Training Centre.
Long-time sponsor King’s Jewellery World for the 15th successive year has donated one of its world renowned West Indies Cricket Medallion.
Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster stated that the special prize would be given to the RHTY&SC member, who was selected by management to enjoy a one-year benefit period in recognition of outstanding service and contribution over an extended period of no less than five years.
Assistant Secretary/CEO Simon Naidu has been selected to enjoy 2019 as a benefit year in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the continued development of Guyana’s leading NGO. At just 19 years, Naidu has taken over the daily operation of the club, as the veteran Secretary/CEO is concentrated on fulfilling his duties as President of the Berbice Cricket Board.
Guyana’s First-Class player and ex-Amazon Warrior, Steven Jacobs has come on board for the first time and donated a special cricket ring which he would be launching shortly at his increasing popular Jacobs Jewellery and Pawn Shop located in Pike Street, Kitty.
The all-rounder stated that he was always impressed by the outstanding work of the RHTY&SC and was pleased to contribute.
Meanwhile the NSC has donated $400 000 to the Club’s 2019 Say No/Say Yes Programme. The funds will be used for the RHTYSC’s 19th Annual Magazine and to assist several cricket clubs in Berbice with cricket balls.
The 48-page Magazine will be published shortly at the F & H Printery in Georgetown while about 12 clubs would receive balls at the Award Ceremony.
