Charity Play a runaway success – Thank you Note

We are absolutely delighted to announce that The Glen Theatre Drama Group’s production of John B. Keane’s play, “The Rain at the End of the Summer”, held at the Glen Theatre last Sunday night (11th) was a resounding success.

 

Thanks to the incredible generosity of The Glen Theatre Drama Group, all proceeds from tickets sales were donated to Rathcoole NS Parents of Children with Additional Needs Support Group.  Director Tadgh O’Keeffe kindly presented Colette O’Keeffe & Maria Buckley with a cheque for €1000.00.

These funds will be dedicated to purchasing essential equipment and resources for all pupils, but in particular the neurodivergent children with additional needs attending Rathcoole National School.

Thank you to everyone who attended the night or donated.  Your kindness makes a huge contribution to the lives of these pupils.

 The Glen Theatre Drama Group are bringing this magnificent play to The Everyman Theatre on Thursday 15th August and The Civic Theatre, Dublin on Friday 23rd & Saturday 24th August.

Philip Lenihan commands the stage as patriarch Joss O’Brien whose moral attitude conflicts with his ambitious son, Jamesy, played by Tadhg Curtin, while daughter and soon to be nun Eillie, played by Sinead Guiney tries to keep the peace.  With our own extremely talented vice principal Maureen O’Brien as feisty housekeeper Kate and past pupils Olivia Lehane and Diarmuid Cronin as the newly engaged couple, Penny & Toddy, and Anna Lehane as stagehand, this show is a must see!

Cancer Support Group benefits from Car Run

A pleasant get together in Millstreet Parish Centre availed of the opportunity for Millstreet Vintage Club to present €10,368.73 to Kerry Cancer Support Group, the proceeds raised from a successful Car Run.

The Kerry Cancer Support Group was founded in 2000, the Group’s mission is no one should face their cancer journey alone, the Support Group is devoted to maintaining a warm, welcoming environment

while ensuring that service users have immediate access to their free programmes and resources.

Breeda Dyland, CEO Kerry Connect expressed thanks to Millstreet Vintage Club for helping their cause.

“We receive no state funding, we are a small charity who undertake a big job,  solely dependent on subscriptions and fundraisers to keep us on the road. It all started with a small bus 14 years ago, now we have three full time buses on the road”, said Breeda.

“Once we started, 75% of those diagnosed from the Region have utilized the bus. During 2023, we transported 4,500 people to appointments, translating that to car journeys, that would clog up roads and importantly, it eases the burden for patients”.

 “The Millstreet Vintage Run created an awareness of our existence,  the service is free to users, cracking Cancer together every day is our service, that allows people get to their treatment in a positive frame of mind”, said Breeda.

Co-ordinator Aidan O’Sullivan expressed delight at the huge support for the Millstreet event on supporting a valuable service where so many people utilize the bus service.

“We want to thank everyone who came to the event from both near and far to support the Millstreet club, a big thank you goes to all the  hardworking marshals,  bike marshals, sign on and registration crew, Gardaí, businesses for providing a bucket facility and to everyone who helped out in any way”, said Aidan.
