Hospice Raffle

Thanks to all who contributed to our Hospice collection over the last few weeks.

Pauline and Angie have been out collecting for a very worthy cause and we had a lot of contributors.

We had the raffle in the yard on Thursday afternoon, 12th September, with Tess Egan from the Active Retirement Group coming in to be presented with a grand total of €1350.

We had several winners with Mr. Dunne winning the major prize of the large hamper!

Well done to Mr. Dunne and thank you to all who contributed. It all went to a very worthy cause, one that is close to all our hearts.
