Thurles Credit Union Members Cash Draw – June 2010

On Saturday 19th June Thurles Credit Union held its first Members’ Cash Draw for 2010/11 in the Banking Area at Credit Union House, Parnell Street.

Acting Mayor of Thurles Councillor Michael Cleary attended the draw as guest of honour. Attendees who witnessed the draw included Credit Union Members, Directors, Supervisors and Staff.

The original Members’ Car Draw commenced in 2001, and to date there have been 65 major prize winners.

Following a review of the draw, the Board of Directors decided to amend the draw to a ‘Cash Draw’ as the vast majority of previous winners opted to take a cash prize instead of a car. Credit Union members approved this change at last year’s AGM. Almost 4,000 members have now registered for the Members’ Cash Draw in 2010/2011.

Pictured here at the June Members Cash Draw were (l to r): Anne Tynan (C.U. Director), Paddy Crowe (Supervisor) , Councillor Michael Cleary (Acting Mayor of Thurles), Frank Connolly (Credit Union President), Donal Scannell (CEO Thurles Credit Union) and DJ Darcy (C.U. Director).

Acting Mayor Michael Cleary drew the winning numbers for the 4 cash prizes and winners have been announced as follows:

Michael and Christina Grainger, Corbally, Thurles, were the lucky winners of the first prize of €10,000.

Miriam O’ Brien, River Street, Killenaule and Mary Ryan, Fennor House, Urlingford both won cash prizes of €1,000.

The final cash prize of €500 went to Helen Condon, Gleann Ri, Holycross.

Congratulations and well done to all involved.
