Presentation to Kathleen & Geff in Cullen

We thank Sheila Fitzgerald for the excellent photograph and the following caption: Cullen and District Special Needs Association honoured it's two founder members last Monday night with a get together at the local Community Hall. 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 the subsequently named annual Harvest Day has always been a great success for the Club while the Weigh In during the Winter/Spring months is one of their 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 indorsed 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."
