Cellink puts up $450,000 to support RHTY&SC magazine

The Guyana Telephone & Telegraph (GT&T) Company through its Cellink brand will co-sponsor the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club (RHTY&SC) Annual Youth Review Magazine for the seventh successive year.

Cellink has put up $450,000 towards sponsoring the 2010 edition of the magazine.

Club Secretary, Hilbert Foster, who is also the editor-in-chief for the magazine, stated that the GT&T sponsorship was vital to the publication as it covers almost half of the total cost for preparation, editing, printing and distribution.

The relationship between GT&T and the club spans  some fifteen years.

Banks DIH Ltd, Bank of Nova Scotia and IPA Health Care are also major sponsors of the 2010 magazine, and several prominent companies will be featuring advertisements.

The magazine was launched in 2000 and the forty-eight page 11th edition is currently being printed at F & H Printery in Georgetown. It is  expected to be officially launched in late July.

Foster said that this year the magazine is special as its publication  coincides with the club’s celebration of its 20th anniversary.

The club was founded in 1990 by the St. Francis Community Developers.

The magazine would include articles on the club’s achievements over the last twenty years, profiles of some of its outstanding cricketers, pictorial reviews, congratulatory messages and activities of the club from January 2009 to June 2010.

Several guest articles would also be included, including one by Leslyn Thompson, Communication Officer of UNICEF on the topic “The Rights of the Child”.

Meanwhile, the club’s organising secretary, Ravindranauth Kissoonlall, expressed his club’s gratitude to the telecommunications giants for their continued support and the contributions of  marketing director  Wystan Robertson as well as Rhonda Johnson and A. Fung were also acknowledged.
