Maintain Hope coffee date

The summer is rolling in with longer days and — we hope — a lot more sunshine, writes Gerry O'Donoghue of Maintain Hope. What better way to celebrate midsummer than with coffee and friends and in aid of a good cause!

Put 25 June 25 in your diaries and join us in the Berminghams home in Mooretown, Kilcullen, between 12 noon and 6pm. A relaxing, easy day is guaranteed, with friends and neighbours, tea, coffee and sweet treats. Join in a chat, listen to a poem or song — you might even share one yourself!

There will be a particular welcome for young people who might like to get involved. 'When you’re performing, you’re creating a moment' (Erykah Badu) and we have lots of moments to share with you on 25 June 25.

All donations go directly to the work of Maintain Hope, which since 2005 has aimed to alleviate poverty and provide educational opportunities for deprived children in Kenya. Every cent raised goes towards the projects of Maintain Hope, with no deduction for administration — truly every euro makes a difference.

So join us on 25 June and make a difference. Further information: Esther Reddy 087 9450634, Gerry O’ Donoghue 087 2642887.
