IT IS absolutely biting cold out there and against the wintry backdrop, members of Killarney Rotary Club are getting in the frame to put the finishing touches to one of highlights of Munster’s social calendar, the Evening of Wine & Art.

The countdown has begun in earnest to the 13th event, which will take place in The Malton Hotel this Thursday, November 24, and will support a number of local charities. “The Evening of Wine & Art is held in association with Daly’s SuperValu without whom we could not hold this event every year,” said Killarney Rotary President Angela O’Connor. “It looks like the event will be even bigger than previous years. We have some fantastic worthy causes lined up both on the charitable and sporting fronts, namely The Stephen Lyne Foundation, The Killarney Cardiac Response Unit, Football For All, Killarney Swimming Club, The Kilcummin Defibrillator Group, Fossa Rowing Club, Gaelscoil Faithleann, Coolick and Tiernaboul Schools, the Order of Malta and Presentation Secondary School Music Programme.”

Angela added: “There will be lots of wine, cheese and beer to sample on the night and we could not do any of it without the help and sponsorship of Daly's SuperValu and the Daly family. We are also delighted to welcome back The Killarney Brewing Company this year.

“A great night is planned but of course none of this would be possible without the numerous local artists who have been working away over the last year and who deserve our support and encouragement for their talent." So come along; doors open at 7.30pm.
