THANK YOU
Evryone at the Brockagh Resource Centre, Laragh would like to thank all who supported our events and classes throughout the year, to all our groups who provide activities in the centre, to the board of management who volunteer their time and effort and any others who volunteered their time to the centre and to those who drop in to say ‘hi’.
It has been a great year with the opening of our new extension. This would not have been possible but for all the hard work by the board of management. We welcome Suzy Kenna, Tiny Feet Montessori and Preschool and wish her every success in her business. We also welcome our new tenants upstairs, Adventure. ie, who have opened a great outdoor activity shop.
Drop in to Ronan and Cindy’s shop any day except Mondays or Tuesdays. Kwetb (Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board) wish to support any activities or training ideas that people have in their community through their training services. If you think you have an idea, please contact Pauline.
