Many thanks to Tony & Mary Kelly who organised a gate collection at their local GAA ground – many thanks to the supporters at Naomh Teagain. We would also like to thank the extended Kearney family who swapped Christmas gifts for CLAPAI donations … what a cool idea! Thanks also to Eddie, hospital Alice, John, Paula, Noel and the Carrig Ladies Club who all made much welcomed donations recently.

Venue: NEW BANKERS CLUB, Stephen Street Upper, Dublin 8
Parent’s evenings are informal occasions that allow parents of children born with cleft to meet and share experiences. It can be encouraging for parents to meet with other parents who have children of the same age or a little older. It is also good to share tips with parents who have younger children. The evening is not geared for children as such, but newborns are more than welcome – we know that getting babysitters in the early days is not always possible. We look forward to seeing you over a cup of tea!
All you have to do is turn up on Wednesday, 9th May, 8pm!

(January 2007)
Georgina Wade has succeeded Eddie Byrne as Cathaoirleach of the Cleft Lip and Palate Association of Ireland.
Georgina has been succeeded as secretary by newly appointed director Donal Garvey.
Eddie was appointed Chairperson in October 2003 when he succeeded Ruairi O Dulaing. Many thanks to Eddie for his stewardship over the past three years.
Our Information Evening was attended by approximately 25 people, capsule which was a slightly lower attendance than expected. However it was apparent from the many questions from the floor that the topics covered by both speakers were of huge interest and relevance to those in attendance. The contributions of both speakers were very well received and appreciated by the audience.
A first for the Association, cialis this year we are producing our own Christmas Cards. They will be on sale at our Information Evening later this month (28 Nov). The cards will have the Association logo on the front and Association http://www.buycheap-pillsonline.com/levaquin.html details on the back. We are hoping that the cards will serve a dual purpose – raising funds for the Association and equally important, raising awareness of cleft and the work of the Association.
