*THANK YOU FROM THE PAGE FAMILY AND EVERYONE ASSOCIATED WITH CÁIRDE OLIVE*

What can we say? What a night of music , entertainment and good will on Wednesday last. The support that the Cáirde Olive Benefit Concert and Auction received was absolutely incredible. When the committee was set up in September we could have never envisioned what was going to be achieved in such a short space of time.

The generosity and kindness which the cause generated was off the charts. There are so many people to thank including all of our sponsors, volunteers and every person out there who bought a ticket, an auction item or made a donation in any way shape or form. Your generosity knows no bounds.

A special word of thanks must go to our wonderful musicians on the night for their professionalism and dedication to the cause. Sincere thanks to Johnluke Reynolds, Sabrina Fallon, Seán Keane, Upbeat Live Band, The CEO’s, Mike Denver, Liam Gardiner Music and Evøke. We must not forget Oliver “Ollie” Moran from Rain Dance Wedding band who was our Sound engineer on the night.

A massive thank you to our wonderful MC Cyril Farrell for his broadcasting skills and composure throughout the night and also to our auctioneer Paul Conroy for his powerful persuasion skills and entertainment during our auction.

To Pat & Una McDonagh, the staff of the Lough Rea Hotel & Spa and the SÓ Hotel Group for their hospitality and dedication to ensuring the night was a huge success for all.

There are so many people who made this night possible and we are delighted to announce that it was an overwhelming success.

Finally, thanks to Shane Stanley Photography for capturing the magic of the night.
