MOTOR NEURONE GALA BALL
Following on from the great success of last year’s summer Gala Ball we have decided to organise another Ball. The date for this year’s summer Gala Ball is Friday, June 23, in the renowned Headfort Arms Hotel, Kells, Co. Meath. The evening commences with a Prosecco reception at 7.30 p.m. followed by dinner. We are thrilled to have Miriam O’Callaghan as our MC for the night and are delighted to welcome back the very talented Ronan Collins and his band to provide the music. There will be a raffle and auction on the night, lots of spot prizes. We invite everybody to come along have a fabulous evening in beautiful surroundings and support a fantastic organisation. This is an ideal opportunity to use the event for a family celebration, company or club reward, or just a group of friends having an evening out while supporting IMNDA.
