GREAT servants of the Kerry Hospice Foundation gathered at The Meadowlands Hotel on Sunday for a special event to mark their contribution to the organisation.
The ‘appreciation day’ for the volunteers saw around 20 people from all over the county receive a framed certificate from Dr Billy O’Connor.
Kerry Hospice Ambassador Deirdre Walsh was MC for the day and Chairman Jack Shanahan told all in attendance that those present helped raise €12m for the Hospice over the years.
