- JOHN AHERN

Ballindang­an Monday Morning Club provides an important focal point for those who like good company and social interactio­n. With Internatio­nal Women's Day in mind, members gathered in The Firgrove Hotel, Mitchelsto­wn on Monday morning last for a very enjoyable breakfast event, which also had the Ukraine refugee crisis in mind.

Having tucked into a hearty breakfast, those in attendance gave very generously to the tune of €1,145. This money will assist the people of Ukraine via The Red Cross. Those in attendance said they were delighted to contribute to what is fast becoming an internatio­nal crisis.
