It’s all hands on deck in the Killarney Royal Hotel as they prepare to cater for the now annual coffee morning on Saturday April 7, which this year is in aid of Crumlin Children’s Hospital (CMRF Crumlin).

The BIG Coffee Morning, hosted by Ann Marie O’Leary and Tara O’Donoghue is now in its third year and has supported MS Ireland South Kerry branch for the previous two years.

“It’s great to be supporting good causes and we are aware that there are many Killarney and indeed Kerry families who have benefited from the medical expertise and care that Crumlin Children’s Hospital provides on an ongoing basis,” explained Ann Marie. “We are just glad to acknowledge the good work they do and contribute financially to their ongoing efforts.”

The coffee morning promises to be full of home-made treats and goodies that will be difficult to resist and this, alongside the traditional teas and coffees, will undoubtedly make for a great morning at the Killarney Royal Hotel.

Tara went on to praise those that support the event annually. “We are so grateful for all those who bake and provide confectionary items for the morning and we would like to thank in particular the Killarney Royal Hotel and their staff for hosting the event,” she said. “Of course, the morning is only successful if people come out and support the cause, which they have in the previous two years, and we are so thankful for this support.”

One of the big draws on the morning is the raffle which boasts a formidable array of prizes, all sponsored by local businesses. “The local businesses have been so generous with sponsorship of prizes for the raffle each year and we are delighted that this year is no exception with a great variety of prizes to be won,” Ann Marie added.

Both Ann Marie and Tara are hoping for a big turnout to support this great cause. The BIG Coffee morning is due to run from 10am–12pm in the Killarney Royal Hotel on April 7.
