GARDENING / POLYTUNNEL OPPORTUNITY

and flowers for the remainder of 2020. If you live within 5km of the centre and
would like to take on this opportunity please email expressions of interest to
Emer on commfam@boylefrc.ie. The
poly-tunnel is overgrown at the minute, so you will need to clear the raised

BOOK PROJECT
‘When the World Stopped’ is a joint Community Project between Boyle Family Resource
Centre and Una Bhan Tourism Cooperative. At a time when the world stopped
(temporarily), we would like the community of Boyle and surrounding areas to
take a moment to reflect on what this time has meant to them, the good and the
bad. This reflection might be written or drawn but is personal to you. We would
invite anyone of any age to participate as we all view this ‘moment in time’
differently. We hope to put these reflections into book form at the end of this
pandemic and have a ‘snapshot’ of the impact this historical moment had on our
community for future generations to come. Pieces can be sent to Emer at
commfam@boylefrc.ie or Anna at shop@unabhan.ie If you have any
questions please let us know on 071 966 3000
CREATIVE ACTIVITY FOR CHILDREN
Cruinniú na nÓg takes place on Saturday 13th June. It is Ireland’s national day
of creative activity for children and young people – and entire families. So
get ready to answer the call, to celebrate your creative talents, and to share
them with the nation. It’s a day for doing, making and creating.
Check out the fantastic events organised for you by Roscommon County Council
Arts Office, Heritage Office and Library Service, Roscommon Arts Centre, Music
Generation Roscommon and Roscommon County Youth Theatre at https://cruinniu.creativeireland.gov.ie/. In order to
make the event happen this year, most activities are online and there’s an
element of getting out and about too with tutorials to encourage heritage
explorations within your own 5km!
