Lions give €2K to playground

Kilcullen Lions Club has pledged €2,000 to the fundraising campaign being run for the Community Playground project.

Playground committee member Evelyn O'Sullivan says this is a 'massive boost' and a great endorsement of the campaign, which needs to raise €50,000 of the €250,000 cost of the facility.

The project has already received a number of individual donations, and has been backed by the proceeds of a performance of 'Theft' by Kilcullen Drama Group this week. In addition, the returns from December issue of The Bridge will go to the cause.

Meanwhile, the Committee is continuing its fundraising with a Children’s Christmas Disco being held in Kilcullen Community Centre on Friday 18th December. There will be two discos, the first at 4.30pm for infants to 2nd class and the second from 6.30 to 8pm for older children up to 6th class. The cost of entry is €5.

Other events planned include a Table Quiz, bag-packing and a street collection early in 2010.
