The Community Text Alert Service is still ongoing and open to any member of the public to join. Some messages that the group sends out include notifications from the Gardaí, Met Eireann and others which help to keep the community informed.
If you would like to join the text service, please contact Kill Action Group on 086 3772945.
Kill Action Group is a registered provider for the Senior Alert Scheme which provides a personal monitored alarm for those aged 65 and over, living alone or with another person who meets the eligibility criteria and residing within the area.
The alarm can be worn as a pendant or on the wrist like a watch and when pressed a call is sent to a 24-hour monitoring centre. The equipment is free, however, there is a fee for monitoring the alarm. Either a landline, mobile phone or broadband connection is required to install and connect it.
To enquire/avail of this scheme please contact Marie Whelan on 087 2871307.
Last week Declan Aungier entertained a fantastic crowd at Wednesday night dancing in the community centre.
This coming week, on Wednesday, July 3, Unity will take to the stage at Kill so mark Wednesday night dancing 9pm to 11.30pm in your calendar and remember there will be complementary tea, coffee and sweet treat.
Last week, Thomas Maguire and Fiona Ennis entertained a lively crowd at the centre and everyone enjoyed the great atmosphere. Next to take to the stage will be Lar Kenny and Jimmy Hogan on July 7.
Social dancing begins at 3pm and finishes at 6pm. Kill Community Centre guarantees a great afternoon of great music and refreshments. So why not put on your dancing shoes and join in the fun.
Up next in the Gealach Gorm Theatre will be the staging of the popular comedy, 'The Parish', on Saturday, July 13, at 8pm.
Presented by Hubcap Theatre, the hilarious comedy centres around a scandal that shocks 'the parish'. But ultimately, the power of friendship and community prevails.
The play, a light comedy, involves two actors who bring to life a range of characters found in every rural community. Performed with minimal set and supported by a rich soundscape, the performance will be staged as part of the Comeraghs Wild Festival. Tickets are selling fast so make sure you don’t miss out and book on Powertik https://ie.powertik.com/events/the-parish or contact 086 8569358.
