GET WELL:

Thinking of all parishioners who are ill in hospital and nursing homes at the present time.
Mairead Chawke had a bit of a fall last week, luckily nothing too serious. She says she
will still be able to make it to the mass on Knocfierna ! We wouldn't doubt her.

INVITATION:

An upcoming Volunteer Education Seminar being held in Woodlands Hotel, Adare on Monday 14th September
from 7pm to 10pm. See the following link. www.cllsp.ie/volunteer_education_seminar.asp

This seminar is aimed at supporting volunteers within clubs and provides advice and support to clubs looking for ways
to recruit and retain existing volunteers.
Volunteers are the life-blood of every sporting club/organisation. They dedicate hours of time and energy, working in
a variety of ways. Without them, most sports clubs and associations would cease to exist.
Volunteers are extremely valuable, and deserve considerable praise and thanks; however volunteers can sometimes
be under-utilised or over-used and as such cease to be volunteers.
Administrators, officials and coaches all fulfill an important role in sport.
The key to success is the way in which clubs manage the volunteer helpers for whom they are responsible.
Cost: Free of Charge, Booking Essential.
For further details and booking please contact Kathleen Kennedy, Sports
Administrator, at 061-496463 or email: infosports@limerickcoco.ie
