Castlebar Rotary Club wishes to thank all the members of the public who supported the Rotary Tree of Remembrance, which was located on Hopkins Road in Castlebar during the week leading up to Christmas.
Once again, this annual event was very well supported by the public. Charity partners, Mayo Cancer Support Association and Castlebar Social Services Centre, will benefit from the funds that were donated and representatives of both charities were presented with cheques recently.
The Rotary Club would like to thank the following businesses for their support: Dunnes Stores; Thornbrook Construction and Mayo Leisure Point.
At the recent presentation of cheques to the two charities, Rotary Club President John Mulroy said: “The members of Castlebar Rotary Club were delighted to organise this annual event in association with Mayo Cancer Support Association and Castlebar Social Services Centre. The support of the public is much appreciated and the funds raised will assist these two deserving local charities in the great work they undertake in the community."
Mr Mulroy also thanked all the volunteers who gave of their time to man the tree during the busy Christmas period.
