Subj: Congratulations to Rachel Oliver
Date: 7/8/04
Hello,
I would like to ask you all to join me in congratulating Rachel Oliver
on being the recipient of the Cheryl (Phills) King Award for Community
Service at the Girls' High School graduation exercises which took place
in St. Vincent & the Grenadines at the Kingstown Methodist Church, on
June 29th, 2004 . I feel it is important to encourage our young people
in some tangible way and let them know that we love them, are proud of
them and notice and support them in their endeavours. I also hope that
it would encourage others to be active in their communities whether
through the church, school, Girl Guides or any other such community
organisation. Rachel was awarded a copy of my book, "Michael Manley &
Democratic Socialism : Political Leadership and Ideology in Jamaica. " I
would also like to congratulate Rachel's mother, Fran Oliver, daughter
of the late Lorna & Will Oliver of Ratho-Mill. Will was a regular
worshipper at St. Paul's, Calliaqua when he was alive . I would like to
thank the Head-Mistress of my Alma Mater the Girls' High School, Mrs.
Susan Dougan, and all involved in the process of the decision-making
concerning this award . I want to wish Rachel all the best in the future
and congratulate her on her graduation, also. She is to be lauded for
her fine qualities and involvement in her community.
Thanks.
Love,
Cheryl (Phills) King.
