Lough Ree RNLI to host Christmas shop fundraiser in Coosan
On Sunday next (November 9) Lough Ree RNLI will host its annual Christmas shop at its boathouse at Coosan, Athlone.
The charity’s chair of fundraising Vincent Refter said: "This is one of the most important events of the year for the RNLI locally.
"The charity is funded by voluntary contributions from supporters and patrons. Funds raised will exclusively support the work of the RNLI volunteers on Lough Ree."
A new edition of the popular Lifeboat Christmas cards, along with calendars, toys, books, games and stocking-fillers, will be on sale.
The shop will be open at the boathouse from 1.30pm until 3pm on Sunday next.
