NEWS ON LINE
You’ll be pleased to know that the local community notes are among the most popular to receive ‘hits’ via the Internet. Naturally the more numerous of these from outside Ireland is from the British mainland, with a surprising number from the Isle of Man. A reader in Texas, who made a hit, expressed an interest in our local patron Saint Díoma who featured recently in the local notes. Others who made contact were from the USA and Australia and some from other destinations abroad. Best wishes to all our readers abroad for Christmas and 2010. You might like to let your family and friends abroad know of this popular way to keep in touch with home by accessing the site at the Kildimo News Blogspot.
YOUTH CLUB
Members of the local Youth Club will be participating in the Copswood College Christmas musical, so there will be no Youth Club meeting on Friday December 18.
COMMUNITY LOTTO
In the weekly draw on December 8, numbers 5, 6, 16 & 20 were the winning combination for a Jackpot of €4.000. As no punter made the winning prediction, five ‘Lucky Dips’ were drawn for prizes of €20 each by Billy O’Regan, Mary Bourke, Mossie/Mary Griffin, Jackie Griffin and Mike Dillon, Snr. The Community Council members in charge of the weekly draw wish to convey their thanks to all who supported it during the year and they look forward to your continued support in the New Year.

LIMERICK CO CO RECYCLING CAMPAIGN
A new recycling initiative by the Council to deal with the increased amount of packaging and empties arising from Christmas has been launched. There are lots of ideas to deal with this waste and among them is one to combat the recessionary lack of presents. If you cannot afford to buy, then give your time instead. Neglectful male partners will be especially interested in this idea. When you’re confronted by a frosty Christmas morning on the face of your significant other for ‘forgetting’ her present, an adroit move will be to implement this great idea. “Of course I hadn’t forgotten darling, I’m just going to collect your mother now” (While you continue preparing the Christmas dinner).
CHRISTMAS WISHES
The Community Council wish to convey their good Christmas wishes to all members of the community, at home and abroad. They appreciate the support they receive from the community in the projects they have undertaken. Great new advances in community development are projected for the New Year and you will be kept well advised of these. Most of all they wish you a safe holiday period, sensible celebrating and health and happiness in the New Year. Such sentiments are shared by the community-appointed local correspondent who thanks you for your input and interest in the ‘Kildimo Notes’.
