Irish Wheelchair Association ~ annual Church Gate Collection: This weekend at all churches In Co. Leitrim, Clothing Collection Facility There is a Clothes Bank / Container inside the Depot Gate. If you have old clothes for disposal, why not bring them there. Your contribution will help the parish and various charities. Currently people are leaving out bags of clothes at their houses to be collected by purely commercial operators & they rarely help significantly any worthy cause ~ despite what a few advertise! And other clothes banks in the village contribute only a very small amount to the charities they advertise. Please do not bring books, toys or any items other than clothes! _________ Adam and Eve had an ideal marriage. He didn't a have to hear about all the men she could have married.
