The Fourth Annual World Autism Awareness Day is April 2, 2011. Every year, autism organisations around the world celebrate the day with unique fundraising and awareness-raising events.

On Friday April 1st and Friday April 8th, Irish Autism Action will be holding bucket collections throughout the country to help raise valuable funds for the organisation. We would greatly appreciate your support if you see our collectors out on the streets.  If anyone would like to volunteer an hour or two of their time to help out, please call Colette on 044 93 42576.

The Carers Association wishes to apologise to all who their supporters for the Cancellation of The Tullamore Gospel Choir Concert which was due to take place in the Sacred Heart Church Roscommon on Wednesday 24th November at 8pm. Cancellation is due to the recent turn of events in the current economic climate.  Refunds on tickets sold will be available at the outlets where purchased. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

The choir was costing Euro2000 for the night and only 50 tickets had been sold. I know I would have got more people on the night but it still probably would not have brought in enough to pay the choir.

Apologies again to those who hoped to attend.
