Ladies Night Success!

As you know, last Friday night the staff at IMFC hosted a Ladies Night event as a fundraiser for the Family Centre.

The evening was a ROARING success with everyone enjoying the stalls, dancing along to top DJ Tony’s tunes and playing an assortment of games.

Photo’s are displayed in our foyer and all raffle prizes have now gone to their rightful owner!

Feedback from the parent’s who attended has been very positive with many parents asking how soon we will be hosting another event!

The staff would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to all who attended on the night, bought raffle tickets, handed in prizes and wished us well for the night.

The money is still rolling in the door as people who were unable to attend wish to make their own monetary contribution, however I am delighted to let you know that at last count the total was sitting close to a FANTASTIC

£850.00

Well done to Siobhan Barron and Zoe McNeill who planned and organised the event and thanks to all other staff for their support.
