Senior Citizens’ Party
The senior citizen’s Christmas party was held on Saturday 17 in An Grianán hotel, Burt. There was a large attendance and everyone had a great day. The committee would like to thank the main sponsors – Duffy Express, Coyle’s bar, GAA, Alison Doggit Bank of Ireland – and also everyone who supported the fundraising dance and gave donations and prizes. Your support is greatly appreciated. A big thanks to the hotel and staff especially Allen Lyttle for the fantastic meal.
