Coolgreany

COMMUNITY ALERT

Coolgreany Community Alert would like to acknowledge the generosity of the Redmond Brothers from the Ashdown Park and the Amber Springs Hotels for their excellent efforts in providing a number of dinners each day for members of our local communities around the district, and a special thanks to our local volunteers for delivering those meals each evening.

Please remain on the lookout for all our senior citizens and everyone who may be living alone, we have put together a small team of volunteers who are more than willing to help anyone who may need messages or prescriptions to be picked up and delivered to their homes, or in any other way that help is necessary. We are particularly willing to support our senior citizens or those who are living alone and cannot get out by organising the collection of a hot meal in the evening.

If anyone of our senior citizens need some small household items attended too, or help with other small chores please feel free to contact 087 4605166 where we can help with these chores, this support can be organised at your convenience.

SCHOOL ENROLMENT

Scoil Iosagain Coolgreany is now open for enrolments for the coming new school year starting in September. Due to the fact that the school is now closed, enrolment forms can now be made available by phoning 085 8570276 for help. Thank you.

TIDY TOWNS

Well done to Maureen, who was observed on the Coolgreany to Inch road last week picking up rubbish from the ditches which would have been thrown from cars etc. She is definitely making a huge effort to keep the village and local roads clean, but a bit more community support needed to keep the village looking good as we come into the summer months how about a bit more support everyone.

The Tidy Towns Committee are seeking to support of all our community in helping to keep our village tidy by picking up all rubbish in the vicinity of your own home, and also by helping in the watering of the flowers and flower beds etc.
