On 10th September Mallow celebrated their 20th anniversary with Mass by Canon Casey followed by lunch and entertainment at Springfort Hall Country House Hotel. We were delighted to have our President Mai Quaid, our CEO Maureen Kavanagh and our Outreach Worker Moira Quinlan with us.Our founder member Pat Winkle was there also. She was the 1st Chairperson back in 1994. Our 1st Secretary Con Power was also there as were many of the earlier members.A special presentation was made to Pat and she was thrilled even though she warned us not to make a fuss.
80 attended and a lot of members took part in the mass, readings hymns etc. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch served up by the excellant staff of Springfort Hall.Many thanks to Paul and his staff who looked after us on the day and to Theresa who organised the whole thing. After the lunch we enjoyed music by Billy and songs by John. Later in the evening we had Tea/coffee and some of the delicious cake made by Gretta. Thank you Gretta for the hours of labour over that cake. You will see she even got the Logo in and it was filled with cream and strawberries.
