Dick, who is still at school pursuing studies in her Advance level examinations, is one of the top female cyclists in the country.
Dick, who has represented the country successfully on a number of occasions, was accompanied by her Coach Randolph Roberts as they paid a visit to the bank’s New Amsterdam Branch at Strand, New Amsterdam where she was presented with a cheque for a tidy sum which will assist her in her ongoing cycling exploits.
Doing the honours for the bank was Assistant branch Manager Mohamed Azim, who congratulated Dick, on behalf of the management and staff of the bank for her successes in 2012 and wished her well for the New Year. Azim stated that the bank is always willing to throw back support into the community, for without the community’s support there will be no bank. He said that they are particularly keen in helping young people in their development and success.
Dick expressed her gratitude to Scotia Bank for coming forward and assists her and assured those gathered that their assistance will be put to good use. She gave the assurance that she will continue to make all those who has assisted her proud.
Coach Roberts also thanked Scotia Bank for answering to their call and sounded out other business entities to follow the example set by the bank.
Dick is a member of the Flying Ace Cycle Club. The next event of the club is slated for the 18th February when the club in collaboration with former national cyclist Wilbert Benjamin stages the Benjamin open cycle race.
