GOOD FRIDAY CAKE SALE
Carraroe and District Regeneration Association has to maintain the CPR Training/Defibrillators and Text Alert Systems. Pads and batteries have to be replaced soon and are very expensive.
The Cake Sale will take place on Good Friday in Community Centre to support this local community service. We are appealing to our community to assist by baking cakes etc and coming to the sale cakes can be left into community on Good Friday morning.
25 CARD GAME
The regular game takes place each Tuesday night at 9 p.m. Bring a partner but if necessary we can match you up. Please encourage anyone that might enjoy a game of 25 to come to a relaxed atmosphere where learners are welcomed.
PARKING AT SCHOOL
Young Children were observed during the week crossing the main road to the cul-de-sac which is very dangerous. We appeal to parents to use the dedicated walled off parking area at school to drop and collect children and not park on double yellow lines as it blocks the second exit from the car park. Double yellow lines have been placed on the road at roundabout and An Garda Siobhán has advised the law will be enforced.
