AGM 2010 - Promotional & Marketing committee report

Annual General meeting - 10th December, 2010

As a community based organisation Kanturk Credit Union is always keen to remain closely involved

with local groups, clubs and associations within our common bond. This is done in many ways, but

primarily through the Promotional & Marketing committee. who promote and advertise the many benefits

available from our Credit Union.

Later on tonight we will draw the winning ticket in this year's Members Car Draw. We are delighted with

continuing interest in the draw, and we would urge any members who have not yet entered the car draw

to consider entering - you could be the winner of a brand new car this time next year!

Our website has been up and running for almost a year and we are pleased with the positive feedback.

The website offers fantastic benefits to members allowing them to access their accounts 24/7, provide

details of services available, obtain loan application information and advise of developments in your

Credit Union. Don't forget to visit www.kanturkcu.ie

We are delighted to be associated in supporting a wide range of events within Kanturk and District during

the past year. Some of the many clubs and associations that benefited from sponsorship during this year

are: Kanturk mart, Duhallow choral society, Kanturk cycling club, Scor, Kanturk arts festival, Kanturk

golf club, Kanturk rugby, basketball etc.

This year we continued our sponsorship of the Duhallow Junior Hurling League, together with the Duhallow

Junior Football championship. There was great excitement when Lyre emerged victorious and put their

name to the cup for the first time ever.

As always we sponsored numerous other activities within the parishes of Kanturk, Lismire, Banteer,

Castlemagner, Kilbrin, Dromtariffe, Freemount and Tullylease. Kanturk Credit Union Limited continues

to be very supportive of sporting, cultural and charitable activities within our community. Kanturk Credit

Union always welcomes applications for sponsorship from any community based organisation.

The "Michael O'Luasa bursaries" for 2010 will be presented to this years' winners, Harriet Lucey and

Christine O'Riordan. The second moiety for last years' winners, Niamh Colfer and Sinead Casey, will

also be presented tonight.

The Sammy Stamp winners for 2010 are Kate O'Keeffe and Emma Cronin. Both winners will be presented

with their prizes by Finola Cronin of Kanturk Credit Union and Mrs. Mary Kiely. The recipients of all

bursaries were determined by lottery in the presence of a Peace Commissioner.

The long established Kanturk Credit Union annual quiz was held in Banteer on Friday 29th January.

Kanturk Convent primary school won the title and went on to represent their school at Chapter level

in Mallow.

Finally, I would like to thank my committee for their help and support throughout the year. Thank you.

Finola Cronin - Chairperson - Promotional & Marketing committee.
