IT’S a very different Kerry Hospice Coffee Morning this year, but a few events still went ahead at hotels around Tralee.
The event is one of their biggest annual fundraisers, last year realising around €70,000 in the county. The Tralee Chain Gang Cycling Club hosted a coffee morning kindly sponsored by the Meadowlands Hotel.
The club has recently been busy raising funds for Kerry Hospice. Cycling bottles sponsored by McElligott’s Garage and sold to members raised €1,000, reusable cups, sponsored by Casey Stephenson Accountants, were also sold to club members again raising €1,000.

The proceeds from these two initiatives will be added to the total from the coffee morning and presented to Kerry Hospice.
Also on Thursday, Ballygarry House Hotel once again held a collection in The Brasserie and Owen Macs Bar, with customers giving generously to the cause.
Usually people host events in their own homes with neighbours calling around to visit, however, because of public health guidelines and restrictions on the amount of people allowed to gather in homes, they were asking people to contribute in a different way this year, by donating via a justgiving page.
People were also encouraged to hold coffee mornings in a safe manner outside if weather permitted, while adhering to public health guidelines.
