Fund-Raising for Alzheimers.
Drumkill Day Centre at Threemilehouse is a haven and refuge for many people through
the Monaghan Branch of the Alzheimers Society. They do wonderful work with those
suffering with this terrible condition, which seems to be getting more common. The
couple of hours spent there by the service users does help them and provides physical
and mental stimulation for them. It also gives a welcome break to their carers and
families, which gives them an opportunity to look after their own personal welfare.
All
of this of course is provided due mainly to the generosity of the people of Monaghan,
who subscribe to the various fund-raising events organised by volunteers in various
locations. A group in the Knockatallon area (the Sliabh Beagh Group) recently organised
a Tea-Party for Alzheimers in the Sliabh Beagh Hotel and the proceeds of that function
amounting to €1,760.68 were handed over to the Monaghan Branch on Sunday night, July
18th. The group included Peggy and Owen Rafferty, Margaret Cannon, Kathleen McKenna,
Margaret Toner, Kathleen Murray, Catherine Cusker, Mary McKenna and Mary Connolly.
Representing the Monaghan Branch were: Mai Murphy, Marie Cassidy, Catherine Kilgarriff,
Marie McMahon, Cora Smith, Marie Mooney and Veronica McGreevy. The Sliabh Beagh Group
expressed great thanks to everyone who had supported the function and a special word
of appreciation to John Moyna, Francie McKenna and the Sliabh Beagh Hotel.
