Fashion Show in Boyle in aid of Mellon Trust A Fashion Show takes place in St Joseph’s Hall, Boyle, on Thursday, April 10th, in aid of the Niall Mellon Township Trust. Ladies’ fashions will be by Magee’s of Main Street and shoes by Corrigans of St. Patrick’s Street, Boyle. Admission is €10 and the event starts at 8.30 pm. The Niall Mellon Township Trust was established in 2002 to provide homes to the impoverished communities in the townships of South Africa. The charity is currently looking for 2008 volunteers for the year of 2008. Around 80 percent of these volunteers will come from the building trade in Ireland, representing a wide variety of skills from carpentry to block laying. The remaining 20 percent will come from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences. Volunteers who do not have a trade are involved in a range of activities on-site, including painting, labouring, store management and a range of other activities. Each volunteer is asked to raise a minimum of €5,000. Approximately €2,300 of this covers return flights to Cape Town from Dublin and accommodation. The remainder of the funds raised goes towards the cost of building materials. 100 percent of any money raised above the €5,000 target will go directly towards providing additional houses in the townships.
