21 DAY COMMUNITY WALKING CHALLENGE FINISHED ON A HIGH

21 DAY COMMUNITY WALKING CHALLENGE FINISHED ON A HIGH: Last Sunday the sun shone brightly as two groups of walkers set off on the final walk of the challenge. One group took the usual Clarina loop while the other headed off to do a loop of Newtown and the Sailors Haggard. Following the walk there were refreshments and a raffle. The painting donated by local artist Jim O’Farrell was won by Gerry Moran while many more left with spotprizes. Well done to everyone who participated and thanks to all who supported the event.

THANKS TO ALL OUR BAG PACKING VOLUNTEERS

THANKS TO ALL OUR BAG PACKING VOLUNTEERS: Our aim to raise €25,000 in the coming year to clear the outstanding loan on the Centre got off to a flying start last weekend with the Bag Packing event. Once again we are delighted with the help we got from young and old who turned up and volunteered their time to man the checkouts and rattle their buckets. Thanks to the management of Dunnes Stores Jetland Centre for facilitating us and all our volunteers for kickstarting this terms fundraising in such a positive way. We couldn’t do it without you.
