COMMUNITY NEWS: DUNKINEELY 5K IN AID OF CANCER BUS FUNDRAISER A HUGE SUCCESS

written by Stephen Maguire February 1, 2016

donegal-cancer-bus

Cancer Bus Fund Raiser:

As you are no doubt aware we are a long, long way from any ‘Centre of Excellence’ for cancer treatment, and we all have a family member, friend or neighbour who has been affected by this illness. In addition to the emotional turmoil associated with a cancer diagnosis, there is the additional expense of long-distance travel when people may be unable to work; the Cancer Bus aims to meet that expense.

We are happy to report that last Saturday’s fundraising events in the Dunkineely, Killaghtee and Bruckless area were a great success (20th January).

Despite the horrible weather conditions, a great crowd of hardy souls, led by Peter Duddy, turned up for the 5K Walk/Stroll/Run; an event which raised just over a thousand euro.

The evening’s entertainment, in McIntyre’s Bar Dunkineely, provided Kevin O’Donnell and Friends; was followed by a draw and spot prizes; another fruitful fundraising event.

We would like to thank all who, in any way, helped or participated in these very worthwhile events. We would especially like to thank Loraine McIntyre for putting on a delicious spread for all the hypothermic runners; Pat McIntyre for hosting the evening’s events and for his generous donation. We would like to thank the Cancer Bus Committee, Ross Carr, Adrian Armstrong, Margaret and Peter Duddy, Amanda Jervis, Nicola Cassidy, for helping to organise the events and for contacting local businesses for support, and finally, we would like to thank Kevin O’Donnell and friends for providing the music and entertainment. In all, well over €3,000 was raised for the Cancer Bus by the day’s events; the full amount will be known after the committee meeting later this week.

Drama

The talented people of Ardara will be putting on a play called, ‘My Maiden Aunt’ in the Methodist Hall, Ardara, on the 11th, 12th and 13th February at 8:00pm. Admission €10.

 

Naomh Ultan

There will be a Child Protection Course held in the Clubhouse on Saturday 20th February at 9:30am. This course is essential for anyone coaching or managing under-aged teams.

There was no winner of last week’s Royal Flush Jackpot.  The numbers drawn were: 4, 10, 15, and 17. Consolation prizes went to: Charles McGowan, St John’s Point; Terrence McGinley, Ballymcgowan and Conal McGinley, Calhame. Next week’s Jackpot will be €1,100. Thank you for your support.

The Club 25 Card Drive continues every Wednesday in Mary Murrin’s at 9:00pm.

Library

One of the greatest gifts you can give a child is to teach him of her to read; it is something that will help them throughout their lives, and will bring them a lot of pleasure.
