Season’s Greetings From RICC
As Santa makes his way down Ringsend Road and up the tree lined streets
He’ll meet the sincerest of folk in a place that never sleeps
As angels gather over Irishtown in a heavenly melody
We celebrate Christmas time here at RICC
Good times we share, with neighbours and friends
The magic of community spirit that never ends
We reach out to you on the Lord’s special day
And hope that our small town is on Santa’s way
So be sure that your centre is always near
Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year

RICC Youth Club
The RICC Youth Club has now been running for since September and is enjoying huge success. We now have a total of 36 children who meet every Wednesday in the Centre from 6.30pm to 8pm. If you are between 7 and 9 years old why not come along and join the fun.
The past few weeks has seen us making Halloween cards and banners, knitting, cooking and playing games that are both fun and educational. The club is designed to facilitate the younger age group of boys and girls who are looking for an outlet separate to home and school where they can play, learn new skills and make new friends.
Then, when it’s time to leave us when they turn ten, they can enter straight into the CDYSB Youth Project located in the centre. The first week is free and then it is only €2 per week. For further information please contact David, Barbara, Antoinette or Jennifer in the Centre on 01 6604789.
Coffee Morning
RICC in conjunction with Dublin City Council are holding free coffee mornings every Wednesday from 10.30am to 12.00pm. Come and join us for a cup of tea or coffee, a chat and some fun.
New Computer Classes
New computer classes will commence in the Centre in January 2010, covering; Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Powerpoint. If you are interested in this course please contact Brendan or Jennifer at the centre on 01 6604789.
Ringsend Development Forum (RICC)
We at the centre are constantly reaching out and listening to the needs of our community. If there is any way in which we can facilitate you or your organisation then please do not hesitate to contact us. Alternatively, you can come along to our Forum Meeting which takes place in the centre on the third Tuesday of every month at 7.30pm.
The purpose of the meeting is to identify ways in which the Community Centre could facilitate, foster and promote Community Activities and help Groups in the area to achieve their full effectiveness and potential.
We at the centre would like to wish all the Community a very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.
