Haiti Update 3: YOU did it!

Earlier today, Pat O’Doherty generously committed to match funding the next ?5,000 raised in our Haiti appeal. We were then on ?7,000, and needed to get to ?12,000 to draw down the full ?5,000 in double your money funds from ESB.
I’m delighted to tell you that we are now (5.00 pm Tuesday) at ?12,539, which means a full extra ?5,000 for the suffering people of Haiti. We thank every donor, and we thank Pat.
We’re not stopping here! The needs are enormous, every Euro counts and makes a difference. If you have not done so, please donate now at https://electricaid.ie/join-electricaid-esb-payroll/ making sure to change the drop-down to once-off.
Thank you from ElectricAid – we never cease to be amazed by the innate generosity of the entire ESB community.

Philip Higgins

After a long and distinguished career spanning more than 47 years, has decided to take his leave from ESB. From his initial appointment (at 7 stone) on Monday the 3rd of March 1969 to 15 Upper Mount Street on princely sum of £5 a week…(he’s not on much more now). Through to his days as a supervisor in the ESB Office in Finglas and finally to his role in Data Protection. Philip has made an enormous contribution to ESB and brightened the lives of all he encountered along the way.

A function to mark Philip’s retirement will take place in The Goose Tavern, off Griffith Avenue from 6pm on Friday October 28th. Philip hopes that as many as possible of his colleagues and friends will join him for the occasion.

Haiti Update

haiti4.jpg

ElectricAid yesterday approved funding of €10,000 to Concern and Plan Ireland, for their relief and recovery work in the most badly-hit south of Haiti – after the complete devastation caused by Hurricane Matthew a week ago.

That’s as much as we can do from our existing resources, but we will also be committing all once-off donations received up to 25.10.2016 to this cause.

After publicising this yesterday, members and friends have donated almost €5,000 in less than one day. We thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts.

You can make once-off donations out of Payroll here

Don’t forget to change the drop-down to “once-off”

Every donation counts; every Euro helps!

You stood by the people of Haiti in 2010 – please stand by them again in their latest tragedy.

Thanks once again from ElectricAid.

Cyril’s Fundraising Cycle (23rd Sept) – Dublin to Leitrim – Thank YOU!!!

In response to several enquiries, this is to let you know that I survived my long-distance fundraiser cycle on 23rd Sept (Dublin-Leitrim). More importantly, I really want to express my sincere gratitude for your overwhelming generosity – I’m bowled over to be honest! The donations are heading in the direction of ?2,000 as you can see from my Just Giving page here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Cyril-Loughlin-D2D

The ‘peleton’ started out from the West County Hotel (Chapelizod) just after 8am and tackled the battle with city-bound morning traffic before gaining momentum after Lucan. My biggest fear, a strong Westerly wind, failed to materialise and we had a fine day, better than forecast. There was an unscheduled stop in Enfield, to deal with a puncture. Later, food stops in Mullingar and Longford kept us suitably energised and we arrived in Drumshanbo much earlier than anticipated before 4pm, just over 6.5hrs road-time. Compare and contrast with a time of 4+ hrs in my car on a Friday afternoon back in the 1980s (up to half of it getting from HO to Maynooth!). The leisure suite in the Lough Allen Hotel provided a most welcome refuge for an hour before rehydration was called for! I have to say it was a great experience all round.

Thank you all for both the financial and moral support (including those who responded to my earlier Ring of Kerry appeal). It means a lot to me but, more importantly, it is greatly appreciated by all in the Irish Cancer Society HQ – see picture of ‘thank you’ card received this week.

Take a bow all concerned!

Best wishes – Cyril
