Roscommon Tea Day Raises Over €3000!

Western Alzheimer’s Voluntary Committee are delighted to report that they again had a very successful coffee morning on the 29th of November last at Roscommon Golf Club.

Again, it was an opportunity for friends and neighbours to meet up before the Christmas rush and support such a worthy cause. The coffee morning raised in excess of €3,000.00 all of which proceeds support the continuing provision of the day care services in Roscommon.

The Committee were delighted that the recently elected MEP, Ciaran Mullooly attended and launched the annual St. Stephen’s Day Charity Walk.

The Committee encourages as many as possible to attend and support the Charity Walk which starts at 12.00 noon on St. Stephen’s Day, the 26th of December, from Hannan’s Hotel. Entry is €10.00 per person or €20.00 per family. Roscommon Rose, Rachel Hastings will cut the ribbon, the walk will be led off as usual, by the Castlerea Brass Band and on return the walkers will again be entertained by the Roscommon Men’s Choir, who were such a success last year.

As was advised at the coffee morning, there continues to be considerable progress in relation to the securing of a site for a Day Care Centre in Roscommon, Planning Permission has been secured and all proceeds from the walk will go towards the acquisition and construction of the long-awaited and much needed Day Care Centre in Roscommon.

We sincerely hope to see as many walkers as possible on the 26th!!
