A “Joe McAree Celebration Ball” has been organised for the 28th April 2012 to celebrate Joe’s 40 years of service (so far) to Dungannon Swifts Football Club and also his services to Dungannon United Youth, without dad football in this area wouldn’t be at the level it is and the youth of our community wouldnt have the opportunities offered to them. He has provided opportunities to youth coaches and done his very best to ensure supporters and players were looked after to the highest standards over his ongoing time involved.
This is a great opportunity for the community to show their support to dad and also to enjoy a terrific night. So far we have had a good response but mainly from people from further afield so I’m asking the local supporters, coaches, players, parents and all those who have been helped in some way by dad to pay the respect that the man deserves.
The dinner will be held at The Glenavon House Hotel, Cookstown, commencing at 7.30pm, The special guest for the evening is Leeds legend John Giles who will be joined by Jackie Fullerton and other football personalities from dads past, music will be provided by the fantastic Untouchables.
Tickets are priced at £50 per head, dress code is black tie for the boys and long dress for the girls, for further information contact media@dungannonswiftsfc.co.uk, Keith Boyd or a member of the committee, its not too much to ask for your support for a man who has given so much!
Cheers, Rod.
