Borrisoleigh Annual 2016
LAST CALL FOR ITEMS TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS YEARS’ ANNUAL
It is that time of the year again and this year the Borrisoleigh Community Development Association plan to produce another annual. We would be very grateful if the clubs/organisations/schools of the community could once again forward us an article and pictures of the activity of your clubs/organisations/schools during the year of 2016. We are also seeking interesting articles that relate to Borrisoleigh. They can be present day or relate to the past. It would be great if some photos accompanied the articles but we will accept articles without photos. Plus we would like to get articles from people who have left the area, of their memories about Borrisoleigh, or from people who have moved into the area of their experiences in the locality. We would also welcome suggestions that may help us to improve the annual.
To enable us to do this we will need all articles and photos by Friday the 28th October 2016. Can all articles be sent in word if possible with photos as separate attachments to this email address borrisoleighannual@gmail.com. Once again your assistance in the production of the 2016 annual will be appreciated.

Scoil Naomh Cualan
On Friday 14th September we hosted our Charity Breakfast Morning. This has become one of the highlights of the year for all pupils and this year was no different! Every child in the school shared a tasty breakfast in the company of their friends. This year all money raised went to a very worthwhile cause. The money is going to Gina Heraty, a Mayo woman who is doing phenomenal work with the poor, orphaned and disabled in Haiti. The devastation that Hurricane Matthew has caused in Haiti has been horrendous. We come from a community with a very proud tradition of missionary work and consider it a very important part of children’s education to continue this tradition of sharing with those in need among our future generation. We thank all children and parents for their very generous donations. We also sincerely thank in particular three of our main sponsors Stapleton’s Bakery, Thurles Milk and Marie and Sean Shanahan. Their generosity is much appreciated. Thanks also to Brian O’ Farrell for the beautiful hot food which he provided on the day. We have raised over €700 for this cause.
Borrisoleigh Track Attack Notes
Track Attacker Denis Kelly and Tadgh
Track Attacker Ciara
Bayern Munich are the early pace setters in group 2 with 2 victories from their opening matches. Brid Quinlan, Rhona Carroll, Seamus Devaney and Teresa Murray were their stand out performers in their win over an unlucky Leicester City team. It was a showdown that saw Ciara Maher win the individual bragging rights over her grandfather Paddy Kennedy but it was Paddy that smiled widest as his team edged their way to the top of the table.
Track-Attackers Sinead, Kathleen and Aoife O’Meara

Christmas Shoebox Appeal
Its that time of year again when we start thinking about what will bring huge smiles to our children’s faces on Christmas morning. But what if we couldn’t fulfill their dreams on Christmas morning. This is the case for many parents in poor countries. SO, why not help them out. All you have to do is find a shoe box, wrap it in colourful paper & fill it with gifts. I’ve attached a list of suggestions for you. PLEASE help put a smile on children’s little faces this Christmas. Leaflets can be got from & boxes dropped to Fiona at Fifi’s Tots Preschool, Ileigh Road or call 087-2169150.
