Good Friday Card Drive - Thanks to all who supported our annual Good Friday card drive. Congratulations to Gerry Ryan and Pat Rock who were the winners on the night.
Topaz Cash For Clubs - Topaz have announced a new initiative for clubs and communities. When you spend €40 or more on fuel you collect a stamp. These cards and stamps are available in all Topaz stores nationwide and Cullen's XL is our local one. Once your card is full with stamps you can return it to Cullen's or to a member of the Rathcline executive with your club name written on it. The cards will then be returned to Topaz for a draw on May 15th where the prizes are as follows: 1 club will win €10,000. 10 clubs will win €5000. 140 clubs will win €1000. Every club thereafter will receive €250. We would ask everyone in the community to try and get involved and you can also get friends or family around the country involved collecting for our club.
Engagement - Congratulations to Aoife Farrell and Shane Quinn who recently announced their engagement. We wish you all the best for the future.
