Bag Pack Update – Thanks you Adrian

The club made over €1300 on last weekends bagpack, this is a fantastic achievement based on the current climate and considering at one point it looked we would have to cancel due to lack of support.
On behalf of the whole committee, We would like to thank the effort made from each participant but a big mention has to go the Adrian Finnegan who gave up the whole weekend to coordinate the operation and make this a huge success.

Bag Pack in Supervalu Johnstown

Supervalu in Johnstown Shopping centre have contacted us today and given us Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th to do a bag pack in store.  The bag pack in the past has proved to be a great fund raiser for the club and we are very grateful to Supervalu to let us do another one this year.

But we need your help.  We can not run the bag pack with out your help and it is so so important to the club that we have a great turn out.  So we are asking this time for you to spare us your time come down on the 24th or 25th and help us pack bags and shake buckets.  So if you can fill in your details on the form below and give us a few hours it really would go a long way.

But not only would you be helping the club  last year we gave 10% of what we collected to the Womens Refuge in Navan and this year we will be doing the same again.  So not only do you help your club but you help a great cause in the local community.
