There was a special day at Speedwell Trust recently when they welcomed Mr. Corboy of Dallas, Texas.

A firm friend and supporter of the Speedwell Trust's work in the bringing children together, Mr. Corboy personally donated a generous cheque to assist the Trust with their valuable community relations initiative with 3-11 year olds.

A member of The American Ireland Fund Board of Directors, Mr. Corboy was accompanied by Mr. Kingsley Aikins, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Ireland Funds and Mrs. Caitriona Fottrell, Director Ireland.

Receiving the cheque on behalf of the Speedwell Trust, it's Director, Mrs. Jean Kelly commented: "Mike has not only given Speedwell financial support, although this has been vital, but he has really become involved in promoting the work of the Trust in the United States and further afield. He is an exceptional man who makes time in a very busy life to think and act in the interests of others. He and his wife Lou Ann, who has visited Speedwell with him on past occassions, both have a genuine interest in children and making the world a better place for them. I was delighted to hear that recently in Dallas the Catholic Foundation honoured Mike as 'Man of the Year'. In my opinion no-one deserved it more."

Visiting children from Orritor Primary School, St. Joseph's, Stewardstown and Ballylifford Primary School, they were delighted to show Mr. Corboy how much fun it was spending time together at Speedwell.
