ICA Castleconnell Members at An Grianán 2008
VALENTINES DAY
It may be almost three months away but some lucky members from Limerick Federation will be making their way to An Grianán where they, in the company of fellow members from around the country, will be wined and dined on Valentines day 2009.This package is part of their prize as Federation winners and Castleconnell’s Agnes Collins (Recipe winner), Imelda O’Grady, Caherdavin (Make and Model) and Question Time Supremes Mary O’Rourke, Kildimo and Eilish Willis and Peggy O’Sullivan from Limerick City will no doubt do us proud. In wishing them well in their endeavours it is also fitting to acknowledge the generous sponsorship of Gem pack Foods, Hickey’s Fabric’s and Delgany ICA Guild towards these National Competition.
