On Tuesday 18th June, Three Ways Community Associated hosted the ‘End of Year Tea Dance’ in Three Ways Community Centre. Such craic and fun was had by all throughout the entire afternoon.  It’s great for us as an association to see them all enjoy themselves.  Exactly what a community should be like.

Attended by many local residents, all those in attendance enjoyed a Buffett provided by The Boulevard Restaurant and Entertainment provided by local musician Danny Doran.

We in Three Ways Community Association were delighted to deliver the event and look forward to delivering further Tea Dances in the near future (funding permitted)

Three Ways Community Association wish to thank Seamus and his fantastic staff at The Boulevard for their service, the ladies serving etc are always on hand and deliver with sheer dedication.  Thanks also to Danny Doran, he had all those in attendance on the floor throughout the afternoon singing songs of their era.

Our biggest of thanks to our Committee Member and dear friend Patricia O’Gorman.  Patricia, week in, week out goes above and beyond to facilitate and coordinate our Senior Citziens Luncheon Club and events like today.  We really would be lost without her.
