HISTORICAL SOCIETY OPEN NIGHT
The Kilbarron/Terryglass Historical Society would like to thank all those who made the World War 1 Remembrance Ceremony last Sunday a huge success. Nearly 300 people packed the village square to remember their relatives and friends who served in World War 1 and had a connection to the parish. The society sincerely thanks all those who assisted with stewarding, catering, setting up the square, volunteers, photographers and displays in the hall. The Garda Siochana, the Organisation of National Ex-Service men, the Nth. Tipperary United Nations Veterans, the Red Cross, the British Legion and many others.
Due to many requests to see the displays once more the Society will be holding an ‘Open Night’ this Wednesday 6th August from 7-9pm in the village hall, Terryglass. The World War 1 research and information boards along with the slide show presentation will once again be available to be viewed on the night. The military memorabilia will not be available to view as this was loaned to the society for the day and has now been returned.
There will be a chance to purchase the booklet (€10) produced by the society to accompany the displays. All are welcome and free entry.

COMMUNITY ALERT
The Tip of the Week is- Protecting Your Children. Tell children of the tactics that are used by abductors to approach them e.g. to go looking for a pet, offering gifts, asking directions to a location and offering lifts etc. Tell them they should never go with strangers into cars or houses regardless of what explanation is being offered. Tell your children to inform you immediately if a stranger approached them. Never dress your children with their names conspicuously on their clothing as strangers may use their names to get their attention. Tell them to scream and where to go if a person tries to grab them.
