My Week with Celia Holman Lee: Bualadh bos for Limerick award nominees
LIMERICK'S Person of the Year awards took place on Thursday last, and it was a heartwarming and spectacular event.
Those who dedicate their lives and utilise the resources available to them to give back to the community are what the awards strive to celebrate.
The individuals and groups nominated and those who won were truly deserving.
The JP McManus Pro-Am organising committee was named this year’s Persons of the Year, and it was so wonderful to witness them receive the prestigious award.
The work behind the scenes that went into the organising of the global golfing tournament that happened last summer in Limerick’s six star Adare Manor resort was outstanding. Those involved in the committee heartily deserved to be rewarded with recognition for their efforts. Each and every individual involved played a role in the success of the golfing event.
In 2014, I had the privilege of getting a lifetime achievement award at this ceremony. It was one of my most memorable and treasured moments to date. I dedicated my life to modeling and fashion at an early age, so to be given this recognition for doing so was a true honour.
Aside from having the pleasure of attending the Person of the Year awards, I also got to host the Fashion Friday event for Riverfest last week. It went down an absolute treat, with all donations and proceeds being given to Milford Hospice.
We gave away a €500 prize and we had so much fun with the models showing off the best fashion that Limerick city has to offer. We enjoyed a great turnout at the event in Arthurs Quay shopping centre in the heart of the city, so thank you to all who could make it on the day!
I want to take the opportunity to give a special thank you to Bowes Ryan Café, as they provided prosecco and little treats for the audience to enjoy. My Holman Lee Agency models are talented in making anywhere a runway, so it was a joy to see them strut their stuff in the mall!
I look forward to filling you in on my gossip again soon, and I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend and Riverfest festivities in the city.
