COIN COLLECTION
All households will be contacted in the near future, hoping to collect coins to help the re-build of the stage area in our community hall in Ballycogley. All coins appreciated from 1cent up. The coins will be collected or alternatively can be dropped to the Half Way or Bolgers in Ballycogley or the Merry Elf in Killinick. Why not use the opportunity as part of the annual spring clean.
