Members of Killarney Soroptimist Club organised a perfect pancake day for charity which saw huge crowds on Tuesday morning.

Everyone gathered for the 14th annual Pancake and Coffee Morning which took place in the Killarney Avenue Hotel.

“It was a resounding success. It was our 14th anniversary of the Pancake and Coffee Morning so we must be doing something right,” she added.

There were celebrations at Raheen National School this week as SNA Gráinne Lenihan presented a cheque for €5,302.23 to Principal Joan Mullane, the proceeds from her recent skydiving fundraiser in aid of the school.

Gráinne organised the ‘Her Health, Her Power’ initiative last July, which culminated in her completing a skydive in August to raise funds for Raheen NS. The money will go towards the development of the school pitch and a new perimeter race track for the entire Raheen community.
Pictured at the presentation were members of the parents’ committee Joan Bowler, Máire O’Leary, and Ann Marie Donovan, along with school staff Norrissa O’Donoghue, Conor Coffey, Linda Farrell, and Mark Egan, joined by the delighted students of Raheen NS.
