Share a smile this Christmas for Down Syndrome Kerry

This Christmas, The Europe Hotel and Resort will welcome back Bertie Bear and his cousin, Charlie Bear who always come to stay at the five-star hotel for the festive season!
As well as the families getting together, the two cousins like to do something to help others and this year, they have chosen to support Down Syndrome Kerry as the hotel’s annual Christmas charity.
“The debate was a short one as everyone quickly agreed, what Down Syndrome Ireland is doing is very important indeed! commented Charlie Bear. “The world’s home to all kinds of people, everyone of us has our own gift, and we hope that your little donation, will help to give someone a lift.”
Charlie Bear makes for the perfect house guest this Christmas and can be purchased for €25 with all proceeds going to Down Syndrome Kerry. Keep Charlie Bear for yourself or why not give the gift of the cute cuddly teddy bear to a loved ones, family member or friends. Those who purchase a Charlie Bear will also be entered to win an Overnight Stay at The Europe Hotel & Resort for 2 people sharing.
To purchase Charlie Bear & donate to Down Syndrome Kerry visit: The Europe Hotel and Resort (ireshotels.com)
Down Syndrome Kerry is a parent-led voluntary organisation, supporting over 230 families throughout County Kerry and into parts of Cork and Limerick

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.”
