       37th Hospice Dinner Dance raised

                                   £55,000

On 4th April 2007 Chairperson of Hospice Dinner Dance Committee Liam Goss, together with other representatives presented a £55,000 cheque to the Southern Area Hospice Services. This amazing amount was raised at the annual dinner dance and from raffle ticket sales and a fabulous auction. Bidding was fierce as auctioneer Garry Best of Best Property Services encouraged diners to part with their cash to help fund the vital services provided by the Hospice throughout the year. The glamorous Dinner Dance took place on 9th February 2007, with 320 attendees, in the Canal Court Hotel. The evening concluded with dancing to Luv Bug and was hailed as a resounding success by the Committee’s Chairperson Liam Goss. Liam stated:

“The Committee would like to thank the event’s main sponsors Lavelle & McAlinden, The Quays, Hughes Bookmakers, Newry Democrat and other sponsors. The Committee are also grateful to those who contributed auction and raffle prizes, those who gave of their time to ensure the event’s success and to the patrons for their continued support”.

The date for next years annual dinner dance has been set for 7th March 2008 at the Canal Court Hotel and is expected to be another wonderful night with some surprises in store. It is hoped for 2008 that the wider business community will include the dinner dance as one of their corporate events to show their support for the hospice and the vital role it plays in the community.
