>From County Fermanagh's "The Impartial Reporter" http://www.impartialreporter.com/index.html http://www.impartialreporter.com/archive/2002-09- 05/news/story4245.html Pottery marks September 11 with special edition plate A specially commissioned Belleek plate is helping raise money for the victims of the Twin Towers disaster in New York on September 11. Belleek Pottery was invited to design the piece, which features a painting of the Twin Towers set against the Manhattan skyline and bordered by the Irish and American flags, by the Irish American Disaster Relief Fund (IADRF) . Commenting on the piece, Mr. John Maguire, Managing Director of Belleek Pottery Ltd said: "Everyone at Belleek Pottery was deeply saddened by the tragic events of September 11 and we were honoured when the IARDF approached us to help them with their fundraising efforts for the victims of the terrorist attacks. The Irish American Disaster Relief Fund embodies the determination and spirit of the Irish American people and we feel privileged to be associated with the Fund by designing this plate on their behalf". IADRF Chairman Ray Burns said of the Belleek donation: "We feel this plate provides a fitting way to commemorate the victims of the September 11 tragedy and at the same time raise much needed funds for the survivors and their families. I have no doubt that the Twin Towers Plate will be cherished by everyone who acquires one". The plate is on sale via the IARDF internet website: www.IrishAmericanFund.org and from the Belleek Pottery Visitor Centre. $50 from the sale of each plate will be donated directly to the IARDF fund.
