NEWS
More leaders
needed. At the moment we
ask parents of young people attending Bree Youth Club to volunteer one Friday night per
year to help out at the club. We have had a very positive response from you all and
your help is greatly appreciated. Every week we aim to have one adult present for
every 10 members. With the numbers that are currently attending the senior club we
ideally require 6 adults between 8pm and 9 pm. There is a leaders course
coming up on November 3rd at 7pm in FDYS, Island Road, Enniscorthy for one
night only. It would mean a great deal to the club if we could get volunteers to attend
the course and thereafter help out on a regular basis on club nights. The more
leaders we have the lighter the commitment on each leaders part. If you believe that
you could give 2 hours on occasional Friday nights, then please contact any one of the
leaders, or Anne on 9243470. BREE AC NEWS
