A TOTAL of €4,200 was raised for Milford Care Centre in the annual Ann Maher memorial fundraiser dance.
Members of the Maher family in Kilmaley presented a cheque to the value of €4,200 to Milford Care Centre following the Ann Maher memorial fundraising dance which took place at The Kilmaley Inn at the end of April.
Ann’s husband Michael told The Clare Echo, “We are thrilled with the amount which was raised and we can’t thanks everyone enough for the support which we received. The monies raised came from the dance which was held in the Kilmaley Inn, the raffle and the collecting of the plastic bottles in Cusack Park. Thanks everyone for your continued support for our yearly event in the memory of Ann”.
Prizes won in the raffle included tickets for the Munster hurling final, a hurley from Inagh based MacCoda hurleys, vouchers for The Sherwood Inn, Hotel Woodstock and O’Sullivan & Hansbury Motors. Hampers for Ballycasey Pharmacy, Turnpike Fruit & Veg, Value Centre and Kilkenny Shop were also won along with dinner and admission to Limerick Greyhound Stadium.
Ann died in March 2008 and was Chairperson of Kilmaley Camogie Club at the time, a role she held for many years. She was well-known by every voluntary group within the parish of Kilmaley and epitomised the traits of a true volunteer. She is deeply missed by her loving family and friends.
