We remember all those who have been bereaved since last year-we hope the memories of your loved ones will sustain you in the sad times.
Snow: I’m sure all the young and not so young had much fun in the recent snow. Our club member Mary Rose Hayes and her family were busy building our new club mascot- in the form of a snow man. Very impressive indeed!
On a more serious note, we wish to commend all the people from our community who cared for those unable to get out of their homes because of the weather. In particular, we acknowledge the efforts of personnel who ensured the sick in our hospitals, care facilities and private homes were looked after- by going above and beyond to get to their place of work. We hope you will be rewarded for your commitment and dedication. We also wish, all those from our community whom you care for, a speedy return to full health.
