Over €1,500 has been raised so far by kind-hearted Killarney secondary schools for Lions Christmas Food Appeal - which is now in full swing. Also, the charitable group have revealed that their Street Collection is going ahead and is confirmed for next Friday, December 18.
The students held a 'No Uniform’ and ‘Hoodie' days led by Transition Year students for the Killarney Lions Club annual Christmas Food Appeal. All money raised for the appeal will go towards providing food hampers for families in need in the Killarney area, which they will receive just prior to Christmas.
Killarney Community College held a 'No Uniform Day' and St Brigid's Presentation Secondary School had a Hoodie Day to raise the funds, which will receive a further boost next week when St Brendan's College will also hold its 'No Uniform Day'.
“Between the amazing support from the Transition Year students and teachers, and online donations to our GoFundMe page, we are making great progress,” Killarney Lions Club President, John Fuller, said. “We are very grateful that we can go ahead with our Street Collection, which we will ensure is in keeping with COVID requirements. All in all it means we will be able to support 75 families this Christmas thanks to everyone’s efforts, which is incredible.”
Anyone interested in making a donation can go to GoFundMe: On-LION Christmas Food Appeal. For further information please contact John Fuller on 087 236 3065 or Denis Doolan on 087 967 0635 or email killarneylionsclub@gmail.com.

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.
The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.
“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.
“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are:
“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?
“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?
“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?
For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
