YOUNG PERSON OF THE YEAR AWARD 2023

Cashel Lions Club is currently inviting nominations for the Cashel Lions Club Young Person of the Year Award 2023. The Cashel Lions Club Young Person of the Year is an annual event which recognises and acknowledges the voluntary community involvement of young people in their local community. Cashel Lions club views the Young Person of the Year Competition as a way of nurturing a spirit of volunteerism in our young people and of rewarding and supporting youth activity in our community. Local schools, clubs, organisations and indeed individuals are encouraged to nominate young people who are making a contribution to the overall quality of life in their local community. Candidates must be at least fifteen and not more than eighteen years of age on June 30^th, 2024. The future of volunteering in local communities depends on the current diminishing numbers of volunteers promoting and encouraging voluntary community involvement in our young people. Cashel Lions Club is therefore appealing to community groups and individuals not just in Cashel and Rosegreen but also in the neighbouring communities in Golden, Knockavilla, Clonoulty, Boherlahan, Dualla, and New Inn to nominate a young person who is displaying leadership qualities for the Cashel Lions Club Young Person of the Year Award 2023.

So look to the future and get your thinking caps on and enhance the future of your local community by ensuring that your community, club, organisation or school has a nominee in the Cashel Lions Club Young Person of the Year 2023.Application forms and further details are available by emailing [email protected] or by contacting Eddie Morrissey or any member of Cashel Lions Club. Completed application forms must be returned on or before Friday October 27th.

BIRTHDAY GREETINGS

To former curate of New Inn and PP Walkinstown, Dublin, Fr Denis Foley. Denis Foley came to New Inn in February 1968 as CC and served there until July 1982 when he was transferred to Walkinstown, Dublin as PP. While in New Inn he pursued two great passions in his life. He was the owner of two hunter horses and a kennel of award-winning pure-bred dogs and was regularly seen astride his silver Hunter or walking his large pack of Afghan Elk and wolf hounds. However, his recreational interests never interfered with his Pastoral Work. His dedication to caring for the elderly, the lonely and the sick, quickly gained him the respect and affection of the parishioners of New Inn/Knockgraffon where he still has to date many long-standing friendships. We wish him good health and happiness as he enters his 95^th year.

THE CORBY MEANEY BURSARY 

is organised annually by Cashel Lions Club and is intended to assist students who will commence a first-year course in a Third Level or Further Education College in September 2023. The bursaries will be allocated to students in late September and are intended to give financial assistance to students who are faced with the range of financial challenges that are involved in starting a course in a university or college. Applications will be considered from students who have completed their Leaving Certificate in June 2023 or who may be starting college in September after a number of years out of the formal education system. Cashel Lions club will accept applications for the Corby Meaney Bursary Scheme from students in Cashel and neighbouring parishes.
