| Category: Local News Sport | 0 Comments
There will be a table quiz and monster raffle at the Winners Circle Bar, Bridge Street on Friday, January 22nd in aid of the Red Cross Haiti Appeal. Linda Sweeney, daughter of Marie and Patsy, Killarney Road works with the Red Cross in the Carribean and is helping to co-ordinate their response to this dreadful ongoing tragedy. Lorcan Curtin, WL102fm presenter will be the questionmaster and your support is earnestly requested. Quiz will start at 10pm following the Munster match on television. An account has been opened in AIB, Abbeyfeale so that all monies collected can be forwarded directly to the Turks and Caicos Red Cross of which Linda is a Director. She will then be able to use these funds to help the children who have been orphaned and displaced by the earthquake. Linda is based on an island just 60 miles from Haiti and plans to travel there in the coming days.
