In a heartwarming gesture, Tesco Rush recently visited, bringing not just a generous cheque of €634 from the Blue Token Scheme but also a delightful array of books for the members to enjoy. Gratitude overflowed as the community came together, each token representing a contribution of support. The cheerful generosity extended further as friends from Alone, represented by Gillian and the team, left behind Easter Eggs for the members—a gesture that added a touch of sweetness to the season and warmed many hearts. Amidst the festive spirit, the community Centre hosted a thriving St. Patrick’s Day celebration, replete with tea, sandwiches, and cakes. The event made possible by the dedicated efforts of Brian, Debbie, and their team, showcased not just merriment but also unexpected surprises, such as Brian’s hidden talent as a guitar virtuoso. Laughter and joy filled the air, creating cherished moments of connection and camaraderie. Looking ahead, the community eagerly anticipates upcoming excursions that promise adventure and exploration. Destinations like Dail Eireann, The Botanic Gardens, ALSAA, Newbridge House, and Ardgillan Castle have already been included in the itinerary, with funding assistance from Fingal ensuring the realization of these enriching experiences. The anticipation is palpable as more destinations might be added based on popular demand. The recent addition of valuable information sessions, featuring Citizens Advice, and upcoming sessions with the Garda and Coastguard, continue to enrich the members experiences, providing them with essential knowledge and resources. Encapsulating the spirit of togetherness and support, Monday meetings remain a highlight, offering not just laughter and friendship but also a warm cup of tea to all who attend. For those interested in joining or learning more about the activities, the Community Centre warmly welcomes visitors every Monday between 12 and 3 (excluding Bank Holidays). Contact details are available for further inquiries, ensuring that anyone interested can easily connect and become a part of this vibrant and caring community.
