80th birthday raised £540 for St. Vincent de Paul

SIR, — I would like to thank my family and friends for the lovely party on the occasion of my 80th birthday. I would especially like to thank Andrea Rice and Cyrill for the music, Maeve and Carmel for the food and Owenbeg Bowling Club for the use of their premises.

I would also like to thank everyone for their cards, flowers, presents and, in particular, the donations to Strangford St. Vincent de Paul branch. The total amount raised was £540, which was very generous.

Yours etc.,

MARIE MAGEE,

Ardglass.
