North Kerry Eagles:
A Group of Wren Boys from Athea and North Kerry, all fine musicians will be gathering in Moyvane at 11am on St. Stephen’s Day to set out from there and bring a bit of Good Cheer & Merriment to the Christmas Season and at the same time to do fundraising for the North Kerry Eagles Special Olympics Club. One of the athletes in the North Kerry Eagles Special Olympics Club, Sinead Joy, has been chosen as a sub in Athletics for the Munster Special Olympics Region. As Sinead will be undergoing the exact same squad training sessions as the other chosen athletes in Athletics, there will be costs involved which will have to be met by the Club. Each affiliated Club has to raise funds locally to defray these costs. If anyone is interested in joining us on the Wren Boy outing around North Kerry and Athea, please notify Michael Windle at 068 49102 or Kathleen Faley at 068 43393 or 087 6827072.
