KCA street collection next week

The annual street collection for Kilcullen Community Action will be held on Saturday 30 June, writes Brian Byrne.

The recent KCA meeting decided that the collection locations this year will be at Nolans Butchers and at the street and car park entrances to the Eurospar Supermarket.

During the discussion, KCA treasurer Kieran Forde noted that while the organisation had enough funds to deal with needs to the end of the year, 'substantial' new sources of finance would be needed beyond that.

He reminded the meeting that some sources, such as funding from KTK, had now ended.

In response to a query from JJ Warren, Noel Clare said that letters to businesses looking for support for the Summer Flowers Project would soon be sent out.

"Last year we got a good response from the businesses," he added. and noted that some had already contributed to this year's project.
