SILVER CIRCLE
A new fundraising initiative has been launched to raise money towards building a community centre at the Community Field in Garrywilliam. In recent days, members of the community centre Development Committee have begun distributing brochures to homes explaining how the Silver Circle works.
The Silver Circle is a series of 12 monthly draws and one bumper draw confined to holders of the 400 tickets sold. Each month, five prizes of €200 are to be won and the bumper draw will have a total prize pot of €10,000.
Joining the Circle costs €240. This can be paid by cheque or standing order instalments. Members of the committee will be calling to homes in the coming weeks to assist people in signing up. Alternatively, you can contact one of the committee to arrange a purchase. Tickets will be sold on a first come/first served basis.
Further information is available on our Facebook page ‘Crossabeg-Ballymurn Community Centre Development Project’ or by email at ‘crossabegballymurncommunity@gmail.com’. The first draw is scheduled to take place in November.
