THOUGHT FOR THE DAY.
Failure begins when you stop trying to succeed.
FERRARD DAY CENTRE NEWS.
The organising committee of above Centre would like to convey their sincere thanks to all who contributed to their recent Church Gate collection in the Parishes of Clogherhead, Monasterboice, Termonfeckin and Togher. Thank you also to the collectors who did a great job. If you, a friend or family member would like to attend the Centre on a Wednesday, in the old school Clogherhead from 10.30 a.m. to 3.30.p.m. please contact Deirdre on 089 200 5305. The day consists of tea and toast on arrival, followed by music and dancing with (local voluntary musicians) there is plenty of time for you to perform your “Party Piece” a 3 course lunch is then served, followed by “Bingo” where if you’re lucky you could win a Trip to the USA, Bettystown or Annagassan most of the group would rather take home, jam, marmalade, soap biscuits, hand cream etc. and all for just €1. Tea and cakes are served at 3 p.m. before leaving for home. All this for only €12. Check with Deirdre about availability on bus, and everybody welcome, all of our gang are over 55. So if you would like a fun day out, or indeed you would like to volunteer to help any Wednesday, not every Wednesday, please give us a call. We are NOT a care centre, we are a Wednesday Club for the young at heart, so lift up the phone and call Deirdre, I promise you won’t regret it.
