St Patrick's Day Parade – Facilitated by Community Timebank

 

You are invited to Glounthaune Parish St. Patrick's Day Parade. This will take place after 10am mass and will finish in Glounthaune Village. All children not already marching with their club are invited to dress-up  and to march in the Parade.  All groups interested in participating in the St. Patrick's Day Parade are invited to contact Community Timebank.   We will also have displays from Irish dancers and a visiting troupe of Spanish Dancers.  The Parade takes place after 10 am mass on Patrick's Day.   We are also looking for sponsorship to provide refreshments to our dancers.  All donations gratefully received – no matter how big or small!

 


 

Heartsafe CPR Training – Facilitated by Community Timebank

 

Learn basic life support skills to help sustain life at home and at work by taking part in the Heartsafe Community Initiative.  Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) can save lives and the earlier the intervention, the better.  CPR is an easily learned first aid procedure, which if used promptly after cardiac arrest can sustain life until medical help arrives.

 

Local CPR Training:                 Open to everyone aged 16+

No Charge

Venue:                                      Radisson Hotel Little Island.

Date:                                        Sunday April 15th, 2007   

Times:                                      11am & 2pm. Session lasts 2 hours.
