Lions honours

Hannah Murphy and Frances Clare have been honoured as 'Melvin Jones Fellows' by the Lions organisation.

The award is named after the founder of the Lions movement and is presented for dedicated humanitarian services.

They join Sheila Peacocke and the late Vincent Conway, both charter members of the ten year-old club, as Fellows.

Meanwhile, the recent Kilcullen Lions Golf Classic held at Millicent Golf & Country Club raised more than 6,000 euros for the new Youth Cafe project shortly to be inaugurated in the Tennis Club.

The top three teams represented Curragh Lawns Nursing Homes, Bank of Ireland, and Matt Jennings.
