______________October Editorial_____________


Welcome to the October issue of MONA. This month sees some major changes in the Newsletter. We are sadly saying farewell to Linda Condon, who has done Trojan work on the Newsletter during the past two years, we hope that it will be au revoir rather than adieu. A new production team is getting involved in the Newsletter. We are glad to say that some of the teenage members of the community have agreed to take on the task and we ask that you all give them the support and encouragement which they deserve. This months Newsletter has been put together by Sonia Higgins, Hugh Maher and Paula Kelly. We hope to bring other teenage members of the community on board in future issues. If you feel you would like to get involved please contact any member of the committee as the MONA is a Community project & so is open to all.

A very successful Tir na Mona AGM was held in Kelly’s Pub, Timahoe. A new committee was elected as follows:Liam Holton, Chairperson; Sean Flannery, Asst. Chairperson; Pauline Finnegan, Secretary; Feargal MacEoin, Asst. Sec; Bernadette Crean, Treasurer; Bernard Owens, Asst. Tres; Shirley Higgins, PRO; John Larkin Asst PRO; Mr. John Kinsella, Coill Dubh was elected Hon President. We are sure you join with us in wishing the new committee every success in the coming year.

Now that Autumn is upon us we would remind all drivers to be on the lookout for children on the roads. We would also remind parents that it helps to make children visible to car drivers by dressing them in light coloured clothing and getting them to wear reflective arm bands and belts. Also we would ask parents to remind their children not to accept lifts from strangers.

The deadline for the November issue is Wednesday the 27th of October. Any items not in by the 27th of October may not be included. We would urge you to get your articles in on time as the Newsletter is now being compiled by school goers who are giving up their limited free time in the evenings and at weekends.

The MONA Committee.
