The Balbriggan/North County Dublin Branch of Guide Dogs had a coffee morning at the end of September in the Senior Citizens Centre where a total of €529.70 was raised and then our Branch had a quiz night on the 2nd October where a fantastic night was had by all and €1,350 was raised for our Branch. A big thank you to Tina for arranging, to Claire Ann for organising the questions, to the Harvest Pub, Balbriggan for having us and of course to the people who came and supported our Branch.

Our merchandise stands and events are very important to our Branch as it is where we generate the majority of fundraising for Guide Dogs. As the year is nearing the end we have a couple more events and we would love if you came along and supported us so we can end the year with a surge for the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind. We appreciate all the people who come out and support us or stop and say hello. We also appreciate the support of the staff in Millfield Shopping Centre and SuperValu who continue to let us fundraise at their premises,

If you would like to come along and support us, make sure to drop by SuperValu, Balbriggan on Friday 6th November and Saturday 7th November or if you miss us there you can catch us again at Millfield Shopping Centre on Friday 20th and Saturday 21st November where we will have plush guide dog teddies, Christmas cards and raffle tickets to win a car. We will also be in the Central (Mr’s O’s), Balbriggan on Friday 27th November for a music bingo night where Tulips band will be playing for puppy in training Tulips. Come along have a sing song and a drink all for a good cause! And you might even get to see Tulips at work!
