Dear Friend of The Ireland Funds Australia
I hope you are keeping safe and well in this unprecedented situation the world finds itself in. Jennifer and I are working remotely now and we are lucky to be able to do so, with the use of technology, helping to continue the work of the Fund in any way we can.
Obviously we can no longer hold any of our events which is a double-edged sword for me as firstly it means we cannot help as many people as we should be helping, actually when they need us more than ever! Secondly, I so love that our events bring so many of us together to connect and have some fun. Over the years I have loved making many friends and acquaintances as our Ireland Funds family has grown, as I am sure you have too, so I wanted to reach out at this time to say we are still here, virtually and in real-time, at the end of an email, a mobile phone or social media.
As we wade through this pandemic, technology will become more and more important to us all and we are looking at ways we can better connect with you, keep you updated of important information and most importantly, for us all to be there for each other, so if we at the Fund can help in any way at all, do let us know, even if it's just a chat.
As we all will probably have a little more time I wanted to share with you our most recent online copy of our Global Connect Magazine. It does a wonderful job of showing you the positive work being done in communities all over Ireland by committed, passionate and caring people – enabled by generous people like you. Work such as:
