Update 19th October



BOYLE COMMUNITY NOTES WEEK BEGINNING 21st OCTOBER (WEEK 43)

BOYLE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS DRAW
We are fast approaching Christmas and once again we are making every effort to ensure Boyle Town is looking its brightest and best. The annual Christmas Draw will take place this year during Christmas week with a top prize of €1,000!  The funds from the draw go directly to the running costs, erection and insurance of the Lights for the Festive Season. 
Over the coming days our team of volunteers will be dropping into your business with cards for the draw. We appeal to every business to contribute either a minimum of €50, and/or sell the two cards enclosed.  In years gone by there was a door to door collection each year where businesses were expected to contribute sums of up to €300 towards the Christmas lights. Thankfully with the Christmas draw your contribution towards lighting Boyle is selling the raffle cards.  
Over the past few years the willingness of so many people to support the Draw has been remarkable.  Three businesses last year sold in excess of 20 raffle cards totalling over €1500 which was phenomenal, but we very much appreciate every contribution of €50. Our committee who organise the draw are ably assisted by several additional helpers who are responsible for the erection & dismantling of the lights (and who work in sometimes very inclement weather). These volunteers are already being called on to start their work!
Any of our committee below will be happy to replace your cards when completed. Completed cards / donations will be collected from you on 19th /20th December - we encourage you to promote selling the lines straight away and appeal to you to give the cards a prominent place. Boyle is our town and we ask you to give our Boyle Christmas Lights Draw a priority space on your counter or desk. We thank the Businesses of Boyle for selling the cards and to the Community for supporting the Boyle and look forward to a busy and bright Christmas in Boyle.
