The hotel is set to be transformed into a picture of a bygone era, with
the help of Fun Ireland, one of coun- tries foremost event management companies, and will offer all attend- ing a night full of twists and turns, with champagne, food and cocktails to remember.
Last years event was an incredible success raising a massive €46,000 for two charities, the Tony Griffin Foundation, and the Miltown Senior yoke
This year organisers are hoping to repeat this success with the funds being divided between the Miltown Resource Centre which hosts many worthwhile local groups such as the
senior citizens, youthreach and li- brary, and the palliative care team of Milford Hospice.
Committee Member, John Burke, said, “The event this year should be just as enjoyable as last year. We have completely changed the theme, decor, prizes, band and dj, to vary the night for people attending from last year, and the primary focus again is to ensure everyone experi- ences a night to remember, while we as acommittee commit to preserving the money raised for the good causes deserving it.”
Last year the event caused quiet
a stir when the auction started and items as varying as an Omega James Bond watch, signed jerseys, luxury golf breaks, and bull calves, reached creat figures.
Returning as auctioneer for this years event, Cormac O’Sullivan said, “Tam really excited about this years auction. I believe there is again as varying and as novel a Selection of items up, and I look forward to see the faces around the room when the hammer strikes.”
Tickets for the John Burke Com- memorative Ball are available through Armada Hotel reception.
