Fundraising

THE Dames of Turre celebrated International Women’s Day on Wednesday March 8 with a lunch at Los Angeles restaurant in Turre. One of the aims of the club is to raise money for charity. As a result of their fundraising the ladies donated €1,000 to two local charities. The sum of €500 was presented to Vera Walsh who received the money on behalf of the Turre food bank. Vera informed us that they now have 123 families registered with them to receive weekly food parcels.

Another €500 was presented to Janet Franklin who received the money on behalf of Paws Patas, the animal sanctuary that is always working to rescue animals and place them in forever loving homes.

The ladies all enjoyed the afternoon and felt that their fundraising efforts are all worthwhile. The next club lunch will be held on April 25.
