The staff baked some wonderful food and they had fantastic spot prices for the raffle.

To all who supported in any way we thank you.

The ladies of the Milltown branch had their coffee morning too on Friday and again was a huge success raising €1400. They like Spa/Fenit had a wonderful selection of baked goods and both were greatly supported. Also on Friday the Ballylongford group held their coffee morning after having to postpone the week before due to the storm. Again this was very well attended and it was hugely supported by the locals. Well done to all the organisers and of course we thank you all for supporting.
