ICA's Lisavaird guild in good spirits after month of highs and lows

Cork Federation’s October meeting in Lisavaird had its mix of light-hearted and more serious moments.

Federation president Deidre Hickey welcomed all new committee members and expressed sorrow at the death of the federation’s oldest member, Lucy Carty, in her 106th year, of Bishopstown Guild. Born in 1910, she was a dedicated ICA member.

Deidre extended words of wisdom to all present: “Be nice to each other, work for each other, stand beside each other and all problems can be solved.” She asked current members not to forget past colleagues who may no longer be able to attend meetings, who are in nursing homes or hospitals and said a regular visit would make a big difference to their lives.
