Sheila O’Leary from Glenflesk, Killarney was in a jubilant mood this week after receiving the keys to a brand new Suzuki Baleno.
Sheila, from Kipaugh, won the car, which is worth €25,000, in the Killarney Credit Union Member’s Draw, and picked up the keys from Pat Sheehan, Board Chairman, at a prize giving ceremony in the credit union headquarters on Friday night last.
“We currently have just over 2,000 members in the draw which is held twice a year,” Karena McCarthy, Killarney Credit Union Marketing Officer, said.
“This year our prizes included a new car and cash ranging from €250 to €1,000. Our next draw will take place in July.”
Members can apply for the member’s draw at any of the branches or download an application form online www.killarneycu.ie. €12 will then be taken from your account twice a year as an entry fee for the members draw.
The 14 cash prize winners were Niamh Purcell, Bernie Nolan, John Allman, Patrick Doyle, Samuel Leech, Donal Bowler, William Farrell, Margaret Galvin, Bernadette Murphy, John O’Sullivan, Grace Fitzgerald, Timothy Cronin, David Jennings and Eileen Buckley.
The draw was adjudicated by solicitor Eoin Brosnan and KCU Risk and Compliance Manager Shane Foley, in the credit union offices, on Friday, January 11.
“The draw is limited to members of Killarney Credit Union and anyone over the age of 18 can apply to join,” Karena said.
“So for €2 a month, you can be entered into the draw. We would encourage members to sign up if they haven’t already, as the saying goes, ‘if you’re not in, you can’t win’.”
