Annual St.Stephens Dance in Claregalway Hotel in aid of Claregalway/Carnmore Area Flood Relief

Claregalway Carnmore Area Flood Relie: fMembers of community groups in the Claregalway and Carnmore areas got together recently to form a new committee which aims to provide relief to those affected by the recent flooding in the area. The Claregalway Carnmore Area Flood Relief have opened a Bank Account in the Post Office in Claregalway to which people can contribute donations. Irish people have always put others first when it comes to helping those affected by natural disastors. The group has a positive aim of providing whatever is needed to allow people get back on their feet and recover from the flooding. This will be achieved by local fundraising events and managing a list of volunteers who can give of their time to help rebuild people's lives.

The first event that is organised is a fundraising night in the Claregalway Hotel, on St.Stephens night, 26th December. This evening has been made available by Carnmore Hurling Club who normally use the night as their own fundraiser. Tickets are available now from Carnmore Hurling Club members and players, at the Claregalway Hotel and from Joe O'Connell, This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it 0879333181.
