Limerick Federation ICA Notes Week ending Dec15th

CHRISTMAS PARTY:-
It was a night of glitz and glamour when Limerick ICA ladies assembled in The Woodlands Hotel Adare for their 2012 Christmas party. Immediately you entered the door of the dining room you were in the magic of Christmas with Christmas tree and decorations and even Santa covered seats. The meal as usual was excellent and members from city and county mixed and mingled and met old friends and new. This brought Federation activities to an end for this year and Phyllis and her team have lots on interesting plans for the New Year.
