TEA/COFFEE AND CAKE SALE

Ballymote North West Hospice Support Group will be hosting their annual tea or coffee and cake sale morning on Friday, September 21, on the Top of the Rock, Ballymote and as in former years we are looking for all our wonderful bakers to get their baking trays and tins out and provide us with a flourish of all sorts of confectionery for this great occasion. Remember every euro counts so please help by baking a cake or supporting us on the day to maintain our excellent Hospice Centre and services locally.

A big thank you to all who supported the North West Hospice church gate collection on Saturday and Sunday, August 25, and 26.
