Overwhelming support rolling in for Rose Hall Town Week

The Club would be hosting a series of activities during the period September 14 to 25 to mark the 46th anniversary of Rose Hall Town, which attained the status of township on September 20, 1970.

HC Alphonso and Sons of New Amsterdam has contributed ten tons of white sand towards the Family Recreational Park while the Office of the President contributed 100 Guyana flags towards the decoration of the electric poles in the township. The Office of the Prime Minster had earlier donated a similar amount of flags while the Guyana Tourism Authority would also be handing over a quantity of flags next week. The Ministry of Business on Monday last donated $200,000. towards the hosting of the massive Career and Business Fair on September 22.
The Fair would be held on the Rose Hall Town Public Road and is expected to attract at least 80 NGO’s, Government Agencies, schools and International Agencies. Poonai’s Pharmacy would be standing the cost of lighting up the Arch Square, where most of the activities would be held. Foster expressed gratitude to the four donors and stated that the RHTYSC, M.S organised, Rose Hall Town 46th Anniversary Celebration would be the best ever organised event of its nature in the history of Guyana.
Noting that organising the events is very difficult, due to the fact that members of the public would not have to pay any entrance Fee, the experienced administrator stated that almost every angle has been covered.
