ASITS NEWSLETTER June 2010

Bealtaine Festival - May 2010
On May 11th during the Bealtaine Festival, which celebrates the achievements of the older age group, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Cllr Emer Costello opened an exhibition in Terenure Library entitled Framed! My Life in Pictures which was compiled by 12 ASITS members. The project was produced with the invaluable assistance of volunteers Rick Quinn & Patrick Lyons – thank you both! The Society is very proud of the recognition given to the quality of the work by the participants of this class. The exhibition ran in Terenure Library from May 11th to May 15th and in Ballyroan library from May 24th to May 29th.

If you are a new member and you haven’t been contacted for a new course please let us know and we will register you on the next available course.

Email Addresses:
Due to reduced funding, the Society is trying out new ways to save money; we are now looking at the idea of sending the newsletter via email. If you would like to receive your newsletter & other updates on new courses and social events please send us an email to asitsnews@gmail.com and we will add you to our mailing list.
*Remember to include your name on the email.

Annual Subscriptions:
Like many other organizations, our funding in these difficult times has been greatly reduced and we need to both increase our membership and retain our past members. Annual membership is €10. Perhaps you know of someone who might wish to participate in the varied classes on offer or who would like to join members on the interesting outings being organized by our new social committee.

Participants in ASITS Social Activities:
The new innovation of social events is being kindly organised by a small committee of volunteers. Because this is being run on a volunteer basis and is not a commercial venture, only those who are members of the Society are eligible to participate. If you wish to bring someone along they can join the Society for the annual membership fee of €10 by calling in to the Enterprise Centre any weekday between 9am & 5.30pm.


Carlow Trip:
Many thanks to the Social committee who organized a great trip to the Visual Arts Centre in Carlow. Attendees on the day all had a very enjoyable time and we even got the good weather too!
Many thanks to Angela, Phyllis, Joan, Jim & Rita for all your good work.
