Page 20: SANDYCOVE ACRES NEWSLETTER

Our Sandycove Acres Newsletter is an

important method to inform all residents of any new or updates regarding the various

groups and clubs within our community. These numerous activities, run volunteer residents, create Sandycove’s lifestyle to

which we are very proud of!

Normally the monthly Newsletter is printed and collated at The Wheel. Due to the

Coronavirus (Covid-19), the Wheel was closed and therefore the Newsletter could not get printed. It was also a concern to ask our

collating team to come together to collate and possibly subject them to worry over health

concerns.

So, in order for the April edition to be in the hands of our residents, Mirka Rollason,

Parkbridge Property Manager, offered to arrange an outside vendor to print and collate April’s newsletter.

We would like to extend a BIG THANK YOU

to Mirka for her assistance in keeping the lines of communication for our activities open.
