Hi Everyone, Well, summer is here at last and it's holiday time again. I hope you all have a very happy holiday and don't miss school too much! Take good care of yourselves during the summer. I am not saying that you shouldn't go out and enjoy yourselves and do new things, but just be sensible and use the intelligence God gave us to avoid things that are dangerous. One of the best ways to be happy and have a good time is to try to make other people happy. Somehow, when we think of others we make ourselves happy as well. Stephen O'Sullivan showing his trophy, which he won Say you are playing out on the road and there is a boy in the Phoenix Park in April, to other members of the Club. or girl who is different from you, maybe they go to a differ- ent school or act differently from you - if you tease them SENIOR "B" LEAGUE FINALISTS or insult them you make them unhappy and you can't really be happy yourself. But if you smile at them and be friendly towards them, you make them happy and you feel happy also - you don't even have to play together, just be friendly. I feel so sorry when I hear of someone being teased or bullied. It is so unfair and I know how much it hurts. I think a really strong person is someone who thinks of others and tries to help them.

The old man planted the lilac tree fifty years ago My mother, then a blushing bride laughed and said "it wouldn't grow" But he tended it lovingly as he did with all of us And it flourished as we all did With the minimum of fuss.

We played ring a rosy around it When we were very small We read our books underneath it When we were all growing quite tall It was the shady spot in the garden Fr. Joe was very pleasantly surprised the other day when Paul Dalton and the teachers of the first class presented him On a hot Summer's day with a Cross pen set in grateful thanks for all his hard work in And it dad the classrooms altars preparing all the little "Holy Communicants".

The Community Council were interested But good times don't last forever in assessing the views of residents on a whole range of issues And now the old man is gone and the Parish Council needed specific information to plan But like the perfume of the lilac tree for the expanding needs of this parish. We decided to pool His memory will always live on. our resources and compile an integrated survey form, a good move you might think! Apparently not! Some of the Kate Monahan objections to answering the survey questions range from (May 1990) "hadn't the time" to "my religion is my own business". I can understand the latter, however, surely every resident could spare five minutes to answer some of the questions ACTIVE AGE HOLIDAY GROUP IN KENMARE on the form. We badly need the forms completed so that an overview of the current state of our community can be gauged. If we don't bring to the attention of the relevant authorities, the urgent needs of the community in terms of roads, recrea- tional and educational facilities, then there won't be any council land left to provide such facilities at the current rate of rezoning taking place in Knocklyon. Please help us to gather this vital information by return- ing your forms. We are all acting in a voluntary capacity and are dependent upon your good will. Help us to help you.

We had activities over 28 weeks and spent a total of 194 hours entertaining approx. 250 children. Last September before we got under way, we set out to get advice from some of the Agencies dealing with youth. We invited representatives from the C.Y.C. and Foroige to attend our committee meetings and got some useful inform- ation which we hope we put into practise. The success of the Club is due to the strong committee Niamh Kelleher and Jean Burke who started out who turned up week after week full of enthusiasm to take many moons ago as Junior members continue to on whatever the night held in store. David Hickey hosted support KYC as Youth Leaders. Well done, girls! the table tennis while Aidan Murtagh took his cue for the snooker. Brian Millane scored highly with the soccer teams while Nora O'Connor provided everyone with an official membership card - plus a Banklink one! Paddy Ryan, well- known for his work with the youth was consistent with his Fantasy Role Play group and attracted his regular clients throughout the year. He also managed some time for the odd game of Draughts. Fionnghuala Curry and her team of helpers had the art of keeping crafts high on the list of priorities - mainly with the girls. Teresa Hogan was always on standby to help in whatever area needed a helping hand. The two Tonys - Mulholland and Heavey — could not always be with us due to work pressures but.whenever they could they were a big hit with the members. And always, always, in the midst of activity, you would find Fr. Joe, quite at home, whether it was serving in the shop or chall- enging someone in a chess game! I must say a special thanks to our treasurer, Gay Byrne who managed to change a hefty overdraft into a black balance. (Gay has been appointed by our committee to Aisling Murtagh about to serve represent us on the Board of the Community Centre). Thanks also to Michael Foynes, an able scribe, who as Secretary, did an excellent job in recording the various meetings, etc. We have been fortunate to have two great lady coaches - Mary Burke who led the girls' soccer matches and Margar- et Ryan who has given her time on Saturdays to give Badminton coaching to club members. We hope to add Basketball to our facilities for next year. The club could not have survived without the help of four young leaders - Elaine Grant and Jean Burke in the Arts and Crafts area, Brian Bird who conducted and taught the chess set and Ronan Dunne who, in the Year of Soccer, supervised and refereed 3 soccer leagues — for the boys.

Thanks to Superquinn for the Cup they presented for the winning teams. The accompanying photographs have captured many happy moments of club events. There are other people I would like to thank for their help during the year: Vincent O'Hagan, Jean Power, Mary Coffey, Monica Colleran, Niamh Kelleher, Mark Keegan, Peter Nolan, Mary Coleman, Mary Cullinane, Breda Fitzharris, Breda Fitzpatrick, Dympna Phillips and Jo Doyle — and we could do with some more helping hands. Apart from the Junior and Senior Youth Club, we start- ed a Young Adult Club, and hopefully they can expand their membership for next year. They are an excellent group of young people and deserve our encouragement. We ran 7 discos during the year and all were successful except for one at Easter. A small number of young adults arrived in an intoxicated state and caused damage to our parish centre after being refused admission to the disco. Now look - could you meet a better The Young Adult committee who try to maintain a happy group of lads? atmosphere and a good standard of behaviour are dis- appointed that this should happen in our parish. Our A.G.M. was held on 30th May and most of the old committee were re-elected. We welcome Ann Marie Gavin and Vincent O'Hagan on to the crew. Our next meeting will be held on 29th August after which we will announce details of registration for next year. I would like to remind parents that membership of their children in the Youth Club will help to develop all sorts of skills essential to their maturing as adults." It provides educ- ation in an informal setting and can complement what they learn at school. The Youth Club is a back up and an inde- pendent education which needs and deserves your help.
