Presentation Secondary School, Mitchelstown are having a Night At The Dogs on Friday, 10th November in Curraheen Park, Cork.
Organised in association with Presentation Secondary School, Mitchelstown Parents’ Council, the event represents an opportunity for some serious fundraising.
The race night launch took place recently with representatives from the two main sponsors (Roche’s SPAR, Mitchelstown and Hodgins Sausages, Mitchelstown) in attendance.
Speaking at the launch, deputy principal Trevor Franks said the school was fortunate to have the backing of a progressive and enthusiastic parents’ council who had a track record of excellence when it came to organising fundraising events.
He went on to acknowledge the financial support of Roche’s SPAR (represented by Willie Kenneally) and Hodgins Sausages (represented by Mervin and Monica Hodgins).
He concluded his remarks by stating the main beneficaries from the race night would be the pupils.
Guests were treated to a recital by the school choir before refreshments were served. A special word of thanks to Jack and Pat Norris for supplying two very well looked-after greyhounds for the launch.
