Tallow Enterprise Centre Manager Retires 19th May 2017

New Manager at Tallow Enterprise Centre:

On Friday last May 19^th, Tallow Enterprise Centre Manager Geraldine Cogan retired. Geraldine was at the helm for 17 years and in that time saw many changes both in the Centre and in Tallow. 

Geraldine stayed a step ahead of what was needed in the community and endeavoured to provide a wide range of classes and activities to suit all needs, including the set-up of the local Active Retirement Group and organising the group who completed the beautiful Tallow Community Quilt. 

The Board of Management and staff would like to wish Geraldine a very happy retirement. Sean Tobin Chairperson of the Board said in his speech at Geraldine's retirement party that she “took ownership of the centre from her first day and was an inspiration to all who had the pleasure to work with her”.

The Board would like to congratulate Aisling Curran on her appointment as new manager and to wish her well for the future.
