Secretary/CEO of the club, Hilbert Foster, hailed the fourth Patron of the RHTY&SC as an outstanding Honorary Patron, who led with distinction. Foster stated that under Harper’s patronage the immediate past Patron was a highly respected leader, role model and outstanding friend who has stood by the club in good and bad times.
He stated that over the last five years, the club has successfully expanded its ‘Say No to Drugs, Crime and Suicide Campaign’, focus more on its ‘Say Yes to Education and Sports Programme’, assist more less fortunate families and expand its cricket development programme and hailed Harper’s contribution to these developments.
On a personal note, the long-standing Secretary/CEO hailed the former Patron as a true friend and close advisor, whose advise he highly respects and cherishes. Harper became the fifth awardee of the highly touted Dolphin Award of Excellence after Robert Selman of the Guyana Beverage Company, President David Granger, Jennifer Cipriani of Scotiabank and Ravi Mangar of Gizmos and Gadgets.
President Granger, during his feature address, praised Harper for her contribution to the club as Patron and expressed the hope that he would be able to follow in her footsteps and provide inspiration to the club and its members.
