The annual December Charity Coffee Morning in the Clayton Silversprings was a huge success. A large crowd enjoyed a very pleasant coffee, scone and chat followed by a raffle where the numerous donated gifts were chosen by lucky prizewinners. There was a huge selection of seasonal treats to choose from.
A total of €2,500 was collected at this event. The proceeds were divided equally between Marymount and Penny Dinners. A huge thank you to all who attended and who contributed to the success of the occasion. Your generosity is greatly appreciated by the beneficiaries.
January 2018 is here and RTAI Cork members have a number of activities to look forward to. Wishing you all a very happy New Year and hoping that you will join us for some of our events during the coming year. You will receive a text about each activity as it occurs and you will be asked to confirm interest/attendance by return text.
