Raphoe Community In Action is holding their Annual General Meeting next week.
The meeting will take place on Wednesday 6th at 8pm in the Suile Centre, The Volt House.
Raphoe Community in action was set up in 1998 as the umbrella organisation for all voluntary groups in Raphoe. There were originally 18 organisations involved in the purchase of the Volt House and developing it as a Community Resource Centre. Over the past 25 years, the Volt house has brought a great sense of Community into our town and is involved in projects that bring young and old together in a spirit of community and personal wellbeing. If you are involved with any voluntary group or an interested individual please come along to find out more about RCIA, and perhaps get involved with the great work they do, and have your say on what is happening in our town.
Our usual classes continue each week with:
Monday Yoga, Pilates Tin Whistle
