We thank Sheila Fitzgerald for the excellent photograph and the following caption: “Cullen and District Special Needs Association honoured its two founder members on Monday night with a get together at Cullen Community Centre. The event was organised to mark the couple’s 50th Wedding Anniversary and their fellow members presented them with a commemorative plaque and a decorative anniversary cake. Kathleen and Geff O Sullivan established the Special Needs Association 35 years ago and in the initial years held fundraising Vintage Shows at their own home. This event was relocated to the local Sports Grounds in later years and subsequently named the Annual Harvest Day and has always been a great success for the Club while the Weigh In during the Winter/Spring months is one of the major fundraisers. Secretary Moira O Keeffe told the Corkman that Kathleen and Geff were “outstanding” and worked extremely hard at every event throughout the 35 years. “We only had to ring and ask for anything and it was done” Moira said, and this was endorsed by all those present. Monies raised by the Association go to COPE Kanturk, Mallow, and Cork, St. Joseph’s Foundation, Charleville, Tearman Lodge, Rathmore, and The Monastery, Killarney.” Click on the picture to enlarge.

Some may not have noticed, but at the end of Eily’s Regional Report this week she notes: “Please take note that my weekly report will no longer be heard live on radio, except for a 30 seconds snippet, which will be heard at 10.30 on Tuesday mornings. After that my full report can only be accessed online, C103.ie. I believe that all the reports from round the county will be run starting at 10.30 on Tuesdays. I am sorry for all the people who aren’t online. However the new change will mean that people at home and all over the world will now be able to get the reports live from wherever they are at any time. Poor consolation I know for all those who don’t have computers. Modern methods always come at a price, unfortunately.”
