KCA AGM in April

The AGM of Kilcullen Community Action in April will give the organisation an opportunity to gain new members.

That was the hope expressed by the chairman, Kieran Forde, at the recent KCA meeting.

"We need new blood and more people," he said. "It is very important that people play a share in the maintenance and development of their town. Even to keep up what we have achieved so far will be a major challenge in the coming years."

He urged people to use the opportunity to come along and see what KCA is about, and even if they cannot commit a year of their time, they may be able to contribute to a project.

KCA was incorporated as a limited company last year and the AGM will be an opportunity for the community to elect officers and directors.

The meeting decided that the projects carried out over the last several years by KCA should be highlighted in advance of the meeting so that new residents particularly will be made aware of the value of volunteer work in their adopted town.
