33 years service for Mary
Mary Gillen was presented with a bouquet of flowers by the chair of Dervock and District Community Association Frankie Cunningham in recognition of her contribution.
Mr Cunningham said: “Mary’s role working as Team Leader in Dervock Community Playgroup exemplifies the nature of the woman – who started as a voluntary worker, and then when the leader left she was asked to stand in.

Mr Cunningham added: “From a grateful community Mary we will always be indebted to you for your support and guidance that certainly helped develop and produce great individuals within our wee community.”
