TO ALL staff at The Press, I would like to thank you all for the wonderful evening you put on for the Community Pride Awards.

It was a lovely, most delightful evening. I never expected to be the one to receive the Person of the Year award.

Yes, I have done fundraising for many years, but in my mind it has always been to try to help others.

But to think I was the chosen one by you, I just cannot believe it. Thank you very much for thinking of me.
