Thurles Fairtrade Town Committee and Fairtrade Mark Ireland have thanked Laurenz Egan for his sterling work to promote Fairtrade in the town and its environs.
In 2004, Laurenz Egan become chair of the newly formed steering group which was set up with the objective of achieving Fairtrade Town status for Thurles.
This objective was realised in December 2005 and the steering group became a sub-committee of Thurles Town Council, with the current Mayor acting as chairperson.
In January 2006, Laurenz then took on the role as education spokesperson, to which he brought sustained enthusiasm, vision and innovation. Thanking him warmly for his commitment to education on Fairtrade and wishing him well in all his future endeavours, they presented Laurenz with a Tipperary Crystal vase during the Producer Visit to Tipperary Institute.
Remember, if you’re free on Thursday night next, 10th March, do join Thurles Fairtrade Town Committee for their Table Quiz in Skehan’s Bar, in Liberty Square, here in Thurles.
