Lissivigeen National School has announced that its Golf Classic, held on July 10 and 11 at Beaufort Golf Club, raised a total of €33,500.

The fundraiser drew strong support from the community, including parents, grandparents, past pupils, teachers, local businesses and many friends of the school. The money raised will go towards providing sensory educational experiences for students.
Speaking after the event, organiser Michelle Barrett said:
“We are overwhelmed by the support we received. The generosity of our sponsors, golfers, and the wider community made this a fantastic success, and the funds raised will make a real difference for our students.”
The Parents’ Association and Golf Committee also thanked Beaufort Golf Club, Daly’s SuperValu, Tricel Killarney, Killarney Oils and the O’Donoghue Ring Hotel Group as the main sponsors, along with over 70 local businesses and individuals.

Killarney performer and director Lily MacMonagle will be the guest speaker at the second Soul Talks Live event in Anam Arts and Cultural Centre on Friday, September 12, at 7.30pm.

MacMonagle, Director and Owner of Macademy, is known locally and nationally for her work in musical theatre.
She has played leading roles including Eva Perón in Evita and Charity in Sweet Charity, for which she won an AIMS award. In addition to her stage career, she has taught and mentored hundreds of young performers through Macademy.
Soul Talks Live is hosted by Killarney singer Grace Foley. Each month, the event invites a guest to take part in a ‘live podcast’ style conversation, where they answer the same set of questions on life, creativity and what drives them.
The series launched last month with a full audience and will continue monthly at Anam Arts and Cultural Centre.
The September event is supported by the Kerry Arts Office and Creative Ireland Kerry.
