A great crowd gathered in the Community Centre on Sunday Morning for the Daffodil Day Coffee morning. The catering team had the hall well decked of in an array of yellow ballons, streamers and naturally daffodils! Thank you to all the bakers who did not dissapoint when it came to providing the community with an array brownies, buns and scones! Thanks to Shirley Spellman of Future Flowers who provided a beautiful floral bird table and to Maureen O'Donavan for wine and chocolates, all were given away in a draw for all of attended. Special thanks is due as always to the catering team who kept the show running behind the scenes. A great time was had by all and the Kilteevan Community Group was delighted to give the  donations to Irene Beirne for the Irish Cancer Society. The final figure of donation was €623. Thank you again for your generosity.
