Slane draw has €70k in prizes
THE Slane Community Centre Committee launched their fundraising campaign with a Monster Draw with over €70,000 in prizes.
Slane is a vibrant community located at the geographical gateway to the Boyne Valley; Slane Village has become a community-driven centre of innovation that is providing leadership and vision for the region. The strategic development of the village has been led by the Slane Community Forum which is the umbrella group for 35 voluntary and business groups.
These efforts have been recognised when the Slane Community was awarded the top Community Award for County Meath and also received the 32-county, Pride of Place, Tourism award.
The Slane Community Forum identified that the development of a Community Centre was the priority project for the village.
