NEW INN COMMUNITY CENTRE APPEAL FOR FUNDS
The Community Centre is open again under Covid19 regulations. The building project has been completed and paid for at a cost of €300,000. We have no debt but due to the Pandemic our funds for day-to-day costs, insurance, etc. have been hit hard. We find ourselves in the position for the first time of having to make an appeal and ask you for money toward the upkeep of the Centre. This can be done by making a donation any Friday evening up to Friday 25 September from 6 p.m. to 8. Members of the committee will be present at the Centre at these times. It will also be possible to donate through our new web page newinncommunitycentre.com. A third option is to donate electronically to the NICC bank account and any committee member will be able to assist you with details. You can also donate directly to any committee member. Receipts will be issued. During these difficult times our options for fund-raising are limited and we would very much appreciate your support.
