Thank you to everyone who supported Kilmoganny's Free Shop in any way. By Friday evening the shop will have been turned into a community space where books and DVD's will continue to be available for free. There will be a space for serving teas and coffees, making jigsaws, craft workshops, board and card games.
The Community Space will be open 5.00pm to 7.00pm Monday to Friday all through Christmas week. So if anyone is wanting to meet up with friends and neighbours over Christmas this will be a good place to do it. Two people will be needed each day from 5.00pm to 7.00pm to welcome visitors and organise the cups of tea. If you are interested and available please ring Anne on 051 648150 and your name on the rota. This might be a way of helping others who need support.
