Céad míle fáilte! Congratulations to his parents.

Drum Art Group
Will be recommencing on Monday 10th September at the usual time of 10.30am in Drum Parish Hall. New members most welcome.

Autumn Stations
Anyone who would like to host the stations in their home this autumn is asked to contact Drum Parish Office at 6437125 to arrange a date. This is a lovely tradition which has been passed down through generations in our parish but would seem to be in decline in recent times. Perhaps you would consider hosting the station mass for your area to ensure the tradition continues for another generation.

Samaritans - Volunteers
Have you 3 hours per week to spare? Athlone Midlands Samaritans are holding an information evening for prospective new volunteers in Shamrock Lodge Hotel at 8pm on Thursday 6th and Tuesday 11th September. For further information contact athlonesamsvolunteering@gmail.com

Parkinson’s Association
A local branch of the Parkinson’s Association has been set up in County Roscommon to provide information and support for Parkinson’s patients, their families, friends and carers. The first open meeting of the association takes place on Wednesday 12th September in Hannon's Hotel, Athlone Road, Roscommon at 7.30pm. Guest speaker will be the Parkinson’s Disease Specialist Nurse for the West of Ireland, Patrick Browne. All are welcome or for more information contact Anita on 087-6239139.

County Roscommon Primary Health Programme for the Traveller Community
An information morning will be held in Roscommon LEADER Partnership Offices, Roscommon Business Park on Monday 10th September at 10am.

Roscommon VEC Adult Education Service
Are your thinking of a return to education? If you would like to improve your skills in communications, maths or computers, courses be held in Involve Centre, Monksland Business Park on Thursday 6th September 6–8pm, and Friday 7th September 11am–1pm. Courses are at FETAC Levels 1-3.
