Diary date for 'Miscellany'

Our annual 'Miscellany on Sunday' fundraiser for the Michael Garry House shelter for homeless people in Newbridge takes place on Sunday 30 November, between 2.30-6pm.

As always it will be hosted at our home in Mooretown, on the Kilcullen-Athy road, three miles from Kilcullen.

Entertainment will be provided by Kilcullen Drama Group, Denise Healy -- the Kildare Rose of Tralee -- Ludhaidh Moran, Philomena Breslin, Phil ODonnell, Aoife Kelly, Dorley O'Sullivan's classical musicians, Roy Thompson, Clifford Meenehan, Michael Barry, Jo Doyle, Nessa Dunlea, Andrew Buchanan, Dick Jeffers, Annie Morris and many more.

The afternoon of music, readings, song, and recitation can be enjoyed with mulled wine and mince pies, and tea, coffee, and minerals will also be available.

Please come and support this worthy local charity. If you don't know us, don't let that stop you, you may that friend we haven't met yet. Feel free to stay 5-10 minutes or all afternoon -- people drop in and out all the time. Balloons and posters will identify the house and you can park your car inside.
