Special thanks to Bernie for her help to Crossgar Youth League

SIR, — I wrote recently in my capacity as chairman of Crossgar Youth League to thank a number of committee members for their help in what is our 50th anniversary year.

I inadvertently forgot to highlight the efforts of Bernie McKeating who has been a member of the Youth league for 42 years and is one of the organisation’s hardest working members.

She consistently raises funds for us and is also in charge of sourcing the various trophies for our annual presentation ceremony.

Bernie is also a tireless community worker and has been raising funds for many charities in the area, including the local foodbank and St Vincent De Paul.

She is a lovely lady who helps everyone and is a tireless support to her neighbours in the  Westlands estate where she is held in high regard.

The Crossgar Youth League is indebted to all its helpers, volunteers and sponsors.

Yours etc,

PAUL TEGGART,

Crossgar Youth League chairman.
