24 A HELPING HAND FOR ST. FRANCIS HOSPICE, RAHENY. Valuable links, with St. Francis Hospice and our society, have been established in recent years. Hospice collecting buckets have become a familiar sight at our Open Garden events. Your generous contributions go directly into hospice funds. Every little helps to assure the continuation of the many services on offer. In addition, and to emphasise our gardening links, a further annual contribution, from proceeds generated by the plant stalls at our shows, is used directly to purchase plants. Many pots of spring bulbs, followed by an array of summer bedding provide a bright and uplifting environment, so important for the wellbeing of both patients and the wonderful, caring staff. A sincere thank you to everyone who supports our efforts. Please continue to help us to help the hospice. 24 HSHS info@hshs.ie
