Health & Wellbeing: A very interesting, informative and important meeting is taking place in Scotstown Complex on Wednesday night next November 28th at 8.00pm. This is a meeting that all young adults and parents should attend. Philly McMahon, the Dublin GAA star, will be there to tell about his family’s encounter with the effects of drugs and by extension the other life-ruining attractions of modern day Ireland. There will be other interesting speakers there too and they will all be well worth listening to. Everyone is welcome and there is no charge. Well done to the Health and Wellbeing committee of the Scotstown club who has organised this opportunity for open discussion of this terrible plague. Each club and organisation has been invited and the public of Monaghan and beyond is welcome to attend. The title of the night is ‘Choices’ and we should all attend to hear what the choices are and how to make the right choices and how not to make the wrong choices. Coffee Morning: Another lovely Tea/Coffee morning in the Village Kitchen on Wednesday last and a few new faces which is great to see. We are also very pleased to say that Paudie in Emyvale Post Office part sponsored the morning last week, which means that we will be able to continue with the event into the weeks ahead. If you call in the Post Office says a little thank you to Paudie for his support and we hope that everyone will support the Post office as we do not want to see it on the list of Offices for Closure. Last week we had a Poetry reading session and the poems selected were ones that most learned at school and were able to say along with the reader. We also heard a different slant to the story of Cinderella!! We are looking forward to next week as one of those present is hoping to have a poem for us that has local interest, also from former school days and we will have something else too to entertain. Next week will be sponsored by Dermot and Nicholas from McMahon’s Shop and we thank them sincerely for their generosity. Hope to see you there at 10.30am. There is no ‘Closing Time’ and you can leave as early as you like and stay as long as you like.
