District & International News

RIP Elaine Farrelly

Acting DG Michael Moore writes :-

I write to inform you that Elaine, the wife of District Governor Leo Farrelly, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday morning. Our sincerest condolences are extended to Leo and to his family at this difficult time.

Many of you were aware that Leo temporarily stepped aside from his duty as District Governor while dealing with Elaine's terminal illness. I have had the honour of covering for Leo as Acting District Governor during this difficult time and will continue until Leo feels ready to return.

When more details become available I will send them through to Presidents and to District Executives.
