Rosies Delivery

The Ride for Rosies funds have finally been spent on goods desperately needed by Rosies Cairns. A year's supply of take-away food containers and cutlery was purchased as well as two lightweight food warmers. Stirling presented these goods at parade and Eunice and Peter Winship from Rosies accepted the gifts. In return, they presented Saints with a certificate of appreciation. Shauna McGovern and Kerry Doolan from our Art Department also painted a Rosies welcome sign as a gift on behalf of the College. Chad Elliott and his band of riders deserve hearty thanks for all the work that went into raising these funds.
