We will be engaged in a series of activities in SuperValu Lucan in the run up to Christmas. We are most grateful to SuperValu manager Ger Joyce and his colleagues for allowing us such a strong presence in the store.
Our activities will include
The Food Trolley for our Annual Christmas Food Appeal will operate from this weekend. All non-perishable food donations will be greatly appreciated and will be distributed to worthy causes by the Club.
A €2 customer donation option will operate at the tills and will also commence this weekend. We would be grateful for your support for this initiative.
Monster Christmas Raffle. Tickets for this raffle will be on sale from Lions Club members in the store from 15 to 17 December with the hamper prizes (4 x €100 and 2x €50) kindly donated by SuperValu. The draw will take place in the store on 17 December.
We look forward to the support from SuperValu customers over this busy period. The proceeds from these in store activities will be distributed to those less well off in the Lucan Community so as to enhance their quality of life over the Christmas period.

St. Mary’s Camera Soirée
As my late father always said immediately after he had swallowed the last mouthful of his Christmas dinner – “well it’s all over until next year”. The exhibition was a great success and the huge support of all who came to see it in the parish centre over last weekend was much appreciated. Thanks to Fr. Philip, Fr. Ubaldo and Fr. Samuel for promoting it and to our friends in St. Andrews for supplying the frames.
The number of viewers to our YouTube channel https://youtu.be/zQLravbFBKc to date has been very satisfactory with hits from as far away as Australia. This week the editor of the newsletter is publishing a random selection of photos from the exhibition.
