GRANAGH NOTES - 29th/ 1st Mar.

GRANAGH UTD. F.C:
Lotto Meeting:    We held our meeting last Thursday in the Clubhouse, total of four people attended, apologies from two parents.   We were down a number of people on our lotto rota and had to rearrange the teams.   Many thanks to the parents and junior team members who have remained on the rota.   Some of the teams are down to two members only and would be delighted to get a third person to help them out.     Each team is on duty only one weekend out of six.    It is a vital source of income which keeps the Club afloat, meeting ESB bills, purchase of equipment and gear etc.   The new Rota sheets will be in the Lotto Bag, changes will take effect from 30th March.

SACRISTAN:

We are delighted to hear that Kathleen Toomey has accepted the role of Sacristan in Granagh Church for a limited period, to ensure that the Church is open, especially during Lent, 9.30am to 6.00pm daily.    Since Johnny retired, all the services provided by the sacristan were sorely missed.   We know Kathleen will be an excellent replacement.    All along Kay O'Donoghue had taken responsibility for opening and closing the Church when she did the school run, so many thanks to Kay.
