Peggy O'Neal to be inducted into the RFC Hall of Fame
« on: June 13, 2024, 06:46:22 PM »
Also from the Prez:

Finally, I am pleased to announce that Peggy O’Neal will be inducted into the Richmond Hall of Fame at our President’s Function in Round 16 when we play Carlton.

Peggy’s contribution to this Club speaks for itself, and our game against Carlton at the MCG will be a wonderful opportunity for the Tiger Army to pay tribute to someone who has given so much to this Club.

Who’d have ever thought a couple of decades ago that a female American would be so deserving

Well done Peggy .. not only did you knock walls/barriers down .. you smashed them

Thanks for all you did for the RFC .. you are such an important part of something that has given the huge supporter base so much joy that we didn’t think was coming

 :cheers :cheers :cheers

She certainly did Damo

It's funny when she stood down I went back and re-read some of the posts from when she took on the Presidency,  when she backed in Dimma. Some of the vitriol, abuse and ridicule that was written because of her gender, nationality to name a few was ..well.. disgusting not to mention pathetic. Would be nice if some of those posters actually admitted they got it very wrong

Peggy left the Club in a much better position than when she first joined the board.. that is her greatest legacy IMHO
