THERE was a packed house in Kirby’s Brogue Inn on Thursday night for the official launch of ‘Connect’ Magazine.
The monthly lifestyle publication, the brainchild of Tralee woman Margaret Brick, has been running for six months now and 10,000 copies are distributed all over the county.
Family, friends, clients and staff of the business enjoyed the delicious food and great fun throughout the evening, with Midnite Cafe providing the music and Sean Crowley doing a great job as MC.
In her speech, Margaret thanked her staff, contributors, advertisers and especially her family and friends who have supported and encouraged her to bring the project to fruition.
