KARE facility officially opened

The official opening of the McMahon Centre KARE operation in the old Cross & Passion Convent took place last Friday night.

The Diary understands that not everybody who was invited turned up, for various reasons including the inclement weather and the same night's Gala Night opening of A Christmas Carol in the Town Hall Theatre.

But it was a good occasion nevertheless, from all reports.

We'd have gone if we'd known. Which says as much for the Editor's journalism as it does for KARE's PR management.

The Diary now knows that a Service of Thanksgiving and Remembrance was held in Kilcullen Parish Church at 6pm.

The official opening and dedication of The McMahon Centre was performed by Senator John Dardis, and was followed by a function at the Standhouse Hotel to celebrate the contribution made by Bob Kelly to KARE over the past 15 years.

Congratulations to all concerned.

Brian Byrne.
