October 16, 2012, 7:02 am , The Island


The Press and Publicity Officer of the Sri Lanka Federation of University Women, Dr Selvie Perera, has sent us the following note and requested urgent publicity for it:"The notice announcing the AGM of the SLFUW on Saturday October 20th 2012 at the SLFUW Training Centre, Colombo 8, was issued to the Press by me.

"I deeply regret having inadvertently referred to our Guest of Honour as Deshamanya Emeritus Professor Swarna Jayaweera.

"The honour bestowed on Professor Swarna Jayaweera is Deshabandu, and the notice referring to the Guest of Honour at the AGM should have read as "Deshabandu Emeritus Professor Dr. Swarna Jayaweera".

My sincere apologies to Dr. Jayaweera for any embarrassment caused to her by this inadvertent error on my part.
