Boolavogue
SNOW HOLIDAY
Boolavogue NS reopened on Tuesday last, March 6, after the snow storm. Even then, the roads were barely passable with only one lane open on many roads and some people still snowed in. A big thanks to all who helped clear paths and roads. Without your civic spirit, many would have been trapped for much longer.
EASTER PARISH RAFFLE
Lines for the Parish Raffle will be on sale before and after weekend Masses in St Cormac’s this weekend. Each line costs €2 and you can buy three for €5. There are sixteen prizes in total on offer and the draw will take place on March 25 after the 11 a.m. Sunday Mass. Your generous support would be gratefully appreciated and all proceeds will go to church funds.
EASTER FITNESS CAMP
The GAAs Easter Activity Camp is filling up but you can still book a place by contacting Jonothan Dunne at 083 0022912. The camp will run from 10 a.m. till 1 p.m. each day and will include hurling, camogie and football skills development as well as athletics and rounders. It only costs €25 for one child, €40 for two siblings or €50 for three or more from the same family.
BIGGEST LOSER RAFFLE
The Biggest Loser Raffle takes place on Saturday, March 31, in Kelly’s, The Harrow. If you haven’t already bought one, you should rush and get yourself a ticket as it won’t be long till the draw organised by the Boolavogue team in the ‘Biggest Loser’ contest, will take place.

Each ticket only costs €5 or you can get three for €10 from any member of the Boolavogue team. And if you don’t win the first prize, there are plenty more including 1.5L of whiskey, a trailerload of sticks, wine, sweets and buiscuits.
