Operation ARCC! A Real Cork Christmas!!

In the run up to Christmas 2020, Cork County Council is launching Operation ARCC! A Real Cork Christmas!!  

One of the aims of Operation ARCC is to reflect on Christmas traditions in Cork.  As part of this, Cork County Council is inviting older people to recount their experiences of A Real Cork Christmas in times past.

We would love you to share your stories, traditions, memories,  photos, poems or songs with us so that we can in turn share them with the wider Cork Community.

 

We really hope that we will have lots of contributions about Christmas past and also any unique cork traditions etc.

Please contact the Age Friendly Office on 021 4285557 for further details or email us and tell us you have your thinking cap on and have lots to tell J

 

Your contribution can be emailed or posted to   Age Friendly Office, Floor 5 (The Tower) , County Hall, Cork.  (Please include your name and telephone number on postal contributions so that we can contact you)
