Rotary Club raises funds for Offaly victims of violence

TULLAMORE Rotary Club has handed a cheque for €2,500 to Offaly Domestic Violence Support Service.

The funds were raised at the Dunk Tank night at the Phoenix Bar in Tullamore where Alan Cunningham, outgoing Rotary president, and other 'volunteers' were dunked in a tank of water.

Each year the outgoing president of the Rotary Club gets to choose local charities to benefit from the local organisation's main fundraising event and on this occasion the Offaly Domestic Violence Support Service was one of the selected recipients.

Mr Cunningham presented the money to Molly Buckley and June Kelly.
