CALLING ALL TESCO SHOPPERS
Tesco Extra on Matthews Lane and Tesco West Street have very kindly allowed The Tullyallen Link to be part of their Community Fund Initiative. For all Blue tokens placed in the drums located at both stores over the next period of 6-8 weeks, Tesco will make a donation to the funding for the Glen project. This will be used to complete landscaping and add some other finishing touches to the walkway. They have called it Tullyallen Across the Glen so the organizers would really appreciate it if all local (and not so local!) Tesco shoppers place their tokens in this drum. Remember, Every little helps. A huge Thank You to local man John Byrne for his assistance with this. It is looking like the works will soon commence by Coillte and that the project will be concluded successfully in the very near future.
