DACC
Donegal Action for Cancer Care (DACC) in conjunction with the new North West Wellness Centre had a very successful Gala Concert in the Clanree Hotel, Letterkenny, on Monday night, August 27. The function raised in excess of 20,000 euro and a brilliant night was had by all.
Wellness
The North West Wellness Centre plans to have a temporary monograph unit in place by Spring 2008 and this unit will screen patients who feel the need for a mammogram at any age between 18 to 99. There will be a small fee for those who can afford to pay but no one will be turned away. If you need more information please contact Alma O Donnell on 91 40186 or any other member of Donegal Action for Cancer Care. We are all only too happy to help.
Lunch Club
The Lunch Club resumed very successfully again after the long summer break. It was lovely to see all our members back again. Our morning began taking time for a quiet reflection remembering our two members Annie Lynch and Hannah Keys who sadly passed away during our break. We had the usual cuppas and Myra's buns followed by two games of bingo, prizes were won by Florrie Duncan, Rose Toland, Lila Magee and Gretta Glynn. The door prize was won by Peggy McGee. Everybody then enjoyed Rosie's famous Shepherd's Pie and a generous helping of Sherry Trifle. Forty-five members of the lunch club recently went to the luxurious Castle Court in Westport, Co Mayo.
