Birr Lions Launch Christmas Appeal for SVP Reporter: [email protected] Pictured is Ronan O'Hare, Fred Boulton and Ken Enright of Birr Lions Club with Edel O'Brien Boyd and Derek Boyd of Birr SVP. '); '); Birr Lions Club has dipped its toe in the waters of online crowdfunding by setting up a GoFundMe campaign for the benefit of Birr St Vincent de Paul. The move, explains Lions Club President Ken Enright, was made necessary by the restrictions imposed by the pandemic. “Many of the traditional fundraising activities and events that would normally take place in the run up to Christmas are not possible at the moment because of Covid-19. We can’t, for example, run our Lions Christmas Fast and on-street bucket collection this year.” The same applies to St Vincent Paul.
