St John’s Point EIRE Sign
Dunkineely Community Ltd is looking for Volunteers to help with restoring the St John’s Point EIRE sign and Identification Number to its original state. A few hours of your time would go a long, long way. The restoration starts this Thursday, 1st September
There will be 2 main times; For those who are free during the day, we will be starting at about 10:30am down at the sign. If you have any of the following, please bring them along… a spade and/or a trowel, gloves, sunscreen (hope you will have to use it), and wear old clothes/overalls. If you have a scrubbing brush, bring that too. It might be an idea to bring a sandwich.
For those who are coming in the evening, we will be resuming from about 6:30pm onward.
There is no specific length of time for people to help out; give as few, or as many, hours of your time as you can… all will be appreciated.
If you are interested, please call Michael on 0872770408
