Killarney

By Sean Moriarty
<h3> Killarney Valley Classic and Vintage Club handed out a total of &euro;61,750 to four worthy causes just before the Christmas break.</h3>
Club members raised the money after they restored and raffled a 40-year-old Toyota Starlet.
 Each charity or community group got an equal share of the profits. They were the Kerry branch of the Irish Kidney Association, Killarney Valley Athletic Club, Recovery Haven, and Cuan Mhuire.
 &ldquo;We are so proud of our club and our members for what they have done with this project and the much-needed funds they helped raise for local charities,&rdquo; club secretary, Richard O&rsquo;Donoghue, said.
 The car was won by Mary Terry of Fossa and on the same evening, her daughter Mave Swarbrick and her two grandsons Finian and Keelan were presented with the keys of their newly acquired classic car.
 The local motoring club remained active over the holiday period and its eighth annual car meet and walk on December 28 raised funds for the local branch of the Order of Malta First Aid service.
