howya yis?
guys we're gonna try and do a rake a fundraising in the lead up to christmas. it involves selling santa hats @€2 a pop..
all money raised goes to lisnagry respite centre, it caters for those people that suffer from down syndrome. they currently are looking to construct a wing for people of our own age. i think as a club we could raise a lot of money for this worthy cause.
there's a munster match this saturday in thomond @7 so i'm asking for any one thats around and could spare 2 hours could ye help us out and sell hats??
if you're available give me a shout

This is a fantastic way to get in to get spirit of the season....goodwill to all--if everyone does a little bit we will be able to raise a lot of money for the new wing out in Lisnagry :)without too much pressure being put on a small few... The hats themselves are good quality( with ' Love Munster' and the three crowns of Munster on the front)— So we want to have the college covered in Lisnagry charity santa hats around both ‘Christmas Daze’ and ‘Red hat day..’ We want people to donate just a little bit of time to help sell them around campus and at locations like the lodge and Storm... many hands make light work!!! So by doing a small bit you will make a big difference.. If anyone is around and free on Saturday and wants to join us give a shout otherwise it will be towards the end of next week before they will be sold around campus -so let us know if you have time to spare and want to do a good deed.. Fergal’s contact details are given above… Above all if you are not available to sell any hats show your support please by buying at one at least off those who are selling them..

Hey everyone, There is a big Munster match on this Sunday in Thomond Park. The Munster team are playing Connaught and so there w be a good crowd at it… After the success we had at the last match selling hats we are hoping to sell a lot more this weekend… ;Dwe are now entering December and the respite centre out in lisnagry provides a fantastic service throughout the community…. If you are free on Sunday from about 3 P.M. until 5 P.M please come along and help sell these charity hats. This is a very worthy charity and deserves as much support as we can give it..We already have some OPC volunteers and some Kayakers will be there too.. we had great fun selling last week and as you all know too well when this club gets out and about fun stuff just happens…. If you are free and want to help out let us know so we can organise transport and other logistics for the day..Fergal’s contact number is 0857774800 Mise le meas… Cillian 0879658473

wats the craic?
Right lads thats it finished up, we've sold all the hats!! Fair play to everyone. A big thenks to every one who sold the hats. I'll post the definite amount of money we raised when I get it..
Thanks again guys.
here's a word from Micheal Fagan showing his appreciation:
Very sincere thanks for all your support. Great credit goes to the members of the Kayak and Outdoor Pursuits Club for their fantastic work in selling so many of the "Santa Hats".It created a great spirit of goodwill and happiness on Campus among the students, while contributing to the Fundraising. I have a quote which I would like to share with you: "The Pupose of our real lives is happiness,which comes from Kindness,Shareing and Careing". Regards.
