Kilcummin GAA Ladies are planning to turn pink and it's all for charity.

The local committee have been focused on fundraising for cancer treatment every Christmas since 2013 and this year, once again they have organised a 'Pink Night' in Kilcummin GAA Club Bar on January 6 at 8pm.

Traditionally organised for Women's Christmas, it has always been a huge success with fantastic support from Kilcummin and the surrounding areas.

Over the years they have raised over €15,000 for various charities. This year, the funds raised will go to 'Comfort for Chemo' in their bid to build a much needed new Chemotherapy Unit in UHK.

"The night itself is a fun-filled occasion with live music from Derry and Rosie Healy, party games, spot prizes, novelty quiz and rounded off with a disco by Declan McCarthy," Niamh Dwyer said.

"Admission is free and tickets will be sold on the night for some amazing door prizes and raffles for prizes including overnight hotel breaks, hampers, restaurant vouchers, hair vouchers and much much more."

Chairperson Carmel O'Riordan and fellow ladies are appreciative of the generosity of their sponsors and said that there will also be prizes for 'Best Dressed in Pink' on the night.

"Make Kilcummin GAA your destination, bring friends, have a night to remember and support a cause close to our hearts."

This month HeartBeat Killarney has come up with a new slant on safe cooking.

A free copy of the cook book ‘101 Square Meals – Easy recipes for everyday life’ will be available to all those who come early to the May meeting on Tuesday night.

This book from Safefood which is supported by the HSE & MABS will come to life on the night as chefs from The International Hotel Killarney have very kindly volunteered to cook some of the recipes in the book for a tasting session during the meeting.

Nutritionist Paula Duggan will be on hand to discuss the nutritional benefits of each recipe prepared for tasting. She can also advise on any tweaks required to meet individual tastes and needs.

There will be four main recipes available to taste during the course of the evening; Meat Loaf, Baked Stuffed Fish, Chicken Fingers and Spanish Tortillas. There is a fifth recipe for tasting on the night but all that Chairperson Billy O’Sullivan will say about it is “It will be available at the end of the night with a cup of tea and we hope it will send everyone home with a smile on their face.”

This is a night that the HeartBeat group has worked long and hard to make happen.

“It came together because of the amazing generosity of Tracy Coyne, Catriona White and the wonderful Kitchen Team at the International.” said Billy. In these times when the price of foods has risen dramatically it is still possible to eat healthily with the guidance from this book. There are lots of tips also on food storage, freezing food, kitchen hygiene and food allergens.

HeartBeat meetings are FREE and all are welcome to come along on Tuesday May 30th at 8pm at the Parish Centre beside The Church of the Resurrection Park Road V93 WN32.
