Happy 2nd Birthday to us
Thanks Everyone for
your help making the cards for the Hospice last night, a Special thanks to
Clare for all her help with the running of the evening, we have now
boosted the number of cards for the Blackrock Hospice to about 1000, so
hopefully we can now sell them all and get much needed funds for special
treatments for the patients.

Yvonne and Karen
If you can't make a night you are due to
bake or set up and tidy the pub please can you get some one to swap with
you.
If 2
members bake that should be enough with Biscuits. If you are not into
Baking you can bring along some biscuits and savoury
snacks.
Don't forget to bring
your own mug along if you want a bigger drink as the pub only supply cups.

Club Raffle
Each month we have
a raffle at the club and the money we raise goes towards the hire of the
room in Lee's and when we have party nights you have a reduced entrance or
meal, any funds left over are used to buy spot prizes for the following
month's raffle, please if you have any unwanted gifts or craft items can
you donate them to the club, please can you drop these off to my house as
I don't drive and end up with having to bring them back home at the end of
the evening, many thanks Yvonne and Mary
We need to get some
craft tables. and have been saving funds made at the club to buy 4, but
we were lucky enought
to win a sponsorship from the EBS of €250.00 so added some more funds
and now have our own 4 craft tables.

Our
Chosen Charity May 2009 to May 2010 is
The
Friends of the Newcastle Hospital
If
you have any cards made to donate please pass them on to Roberta, We will
have a box at the club night every month, where you can leave them, if you
had any bits left over from last night, you can use them for Roberta's
Charity

Members Birthdays
How
the birthday list works, each month at the club the member celebrating their
birthday received cards for fellow members, you do not have to take part in
the swap, only those birthday dates I have, have been included, if you want
to join the list, please give me your details at the next club night. There
is nothing nicer than receiving cards from new friends. So please join in
the fun.
