Danceathon

On Saturday, March 20th, members of The Red Embers, Stagecraft Ireland and other dance supporters took part in a DANCE-A-THON in aid of Operation Lift. From 10am until 8pm, there were 10 solid hours of poi, bellydance, glow poi and fire dance on display in the Ballroom and outside in the Forecourt. Each participant raised sponsorship for their efforts, and so far €300 has been raised with more to come in.

Members of the Irish Burning Man arrived to glow poi and Firefan dance when they attended The Irish Burner’s Potluck at 7pm, which raised €1000 so far! More to come ….

Volunteers Kitchen makeover

Just an update about something else we’ve worked on awhile ago, the stove! It just before christmas and is back in working order. I’m not sure why it wasn’t posted sooner.

There’s more!

The volunteers kitchen has gotten a bit of a make over couresty of the Lituanian cultural society. They did a pretty damn good job of it, clean, neat organised and fresh coat over some of the more worn area’s. Smiley is hoping to take some pictures of it soon but during the winter times a retreat is sounded and the castle people retract to concentrate the warmth. Spring is coming in but so is project lift! The normal house keeping jobs that come with spring have to delayed a little to concentrate on this huge project.

We’d like to thank everyone that helped raise funds for the stove, long may it provide hot meals and unblackened pots!

A clock raffled to raise funds

Long-standing Volunteer Monica Daly who lives at the Castle Gate Lodge generously donated a hand made slate clock from Heartworks as part of a fundraising raffle in aid of Operation Lift.

She raised €100 towards the project, and one lucky winner by the name of Marian walked away with it!  Many thanks for your creative and fun approach to fundraising.

Have a look at the Heartworks website for more clocks and other incrediable designs made from slate.

Thanks again to Monica and Maurico!
