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.
MYTH &
HISTORY LECTURE PROGRAMME 2019-2020
Lecture Programme takes place in Castlecoote House,
on Thursday, 24th October at 8pm. Life in contemporary by the remarkable
flourishing of festivals all over the country celebrating the richness of Irish
culture, history, and Ireland is enriched talent. But we do not celebrate our
Irish Christian heritage. Catholicism world wide is characterized by uplifting
liturgical celebrations and bright public festivals–except in Ireland. Can this
be changed? Is it possible to celebrate in the shadow of recent revelations of
institutional and clerical abuse? If so, how?
