Art award memorial

A special Community Games art award was inaugurated last week when the Brenda Scullion Memorial Award was presented to Rachael Hovenden-Keane.



The award is in memory of a former Cross & Passion College teacher who passed away last year, and was set up by the Community Games Committee to be presented to the Arts section local winner chosen to go forward to the County Community Games Finals.

The inaugural award was presented by Noel Scullion, artist, husband of Brenda.

Margaret Kissane, while giving details of the award, recalled how Brenda had always adjudicated the local round of the Community Games Art competition.

"She was a friend, mentor and supporter of the competition for many years. She always gave freely of her time and her expertise, for which Kilcullen Community Games is extremely grateful."

Margaret also thanked Joe O'Connor for his sponsorship of the trophy.
