The Rose of Tralee stands for everything that is great about Irish culture and Irish society and I am very privileged to have been able to represent the county of Monaghan in 2010. For anyone thinking about entering or putting someone forward for the 2011 selection, i cant express my excitement and encouragement enough.
Throughout a "Rose's Journey" the opportunities you are given and the memories you make are once in a lifetime. Anyone you meet that has been a part of the Rose of Tralee festivities from a local to a national level, all share the same belief. During the selections in Castleblaney and Portlaoise, it was a pleasure to meet and spend time with such lovely ladies from all the 2010 Mongahan Roses, the International Roses and each of the county Roses (not forgetting all the good looking escorts). During this year i have been able to become involved with different announcements and events from village/town fairs to local school occasions, all of which i have been delighted to be apart of!
2010 has been a great year, one which i will never forget! Becoming a part of the Rose of Tralee festivities is becoming a member of a very large family and i am very eager and excited to meet all of the 2011's newest recruits!!!!
