Thank you again Rosemarie for your generous donation to the Texas Rose organization.

Thanks for all your support and friendship

The girls here from Texas, that run for the Rose, are so very proud to be Irish. And they are going to be honored to wear the Tiara you have made for them. I will let you know when it arrives, and I will get you a photo of the 2006 Texas Rose of Tralee wearing your tiara with pride. I do not know if I sent this to you before: our website is www.texasrroseoftralee.org We are still updating for the new year but you can take a look at the girls. Your link should be there in the next day or so, Jim has been out of town and he takes care of it.

Hello, I am the chair of the Texas Rose of Tralee. I am looking for a Tiara for our 2006 Texas Rose of Tralee, and love your selections. But as we are on a budget and not supported by Tralee financially, we can not afford the cost. Would you be so kind in sponsoring the Texas Rose by donating a Tiara. We would link you onto our website, place a advert in our program and be very grateful. We will be selecting our 2006 Texas Rose on June 10, 2006. If you would please get back with me and let me know. Thank you so very much. Jackie Nelon
