Photograph by John KellyENNIS Lions Club is looking for the support of the community to raise funds to bring a group of elderly and disadvantaged people on holiday to Trabolgan in County Cork.
They are organising a Walk with Lions to gather the money.
“Every June, the Lions Club of Ennis participates in the Lions Club annual holiday for elderly and disadvantaged people in Trabolgan Holiday Centre, County Cork. This year, we will take 10 guests from Ennis and the surrounding area to Trabolgan on June 11, where they will enjoy a holiday for one week. All meals are provided with entertainment and a variety of activities to keep everyone occupied. As Trabolgan is by the sea, when the weather is fine, it is a huge bonus. There will also be opportunities for day trips to amenities and attractions in the area and in Cork City. Over 700 guests from all over Ireland will benefit from this holiday. Lions Club members volunteer their time to assist with taking care of our guests with two club members on site at any given time,” Gwen Culligan of the Ennis Lions Club said.
She explained that they need to fundraise annually for this event and need the assistance of the public. “We are looking for people to take part in our Walk with Lions on Friday evening. People can take part in a 5km or 10km walk. Children are also welcome,” she said.
Anyone who feels they cannot complete the walk is also welcome to sponsor a walker.
There is an entry fee to Walk with Lions for adults and children. The walk will begin at the Éire Óg clubhouse at 7pm this Friday, and will end back at Éire Óg for refreshments.
