November TORC News Bulletin

Welcome to the November edition of the tenant engagement News Bulletin. It might feel too early for some, but we are in full Christmas preparation mode over here in TORC! We have a few Christmas themed events for you to sign up to already – we have the kids Christmas Card design competition (you have just 2 weeks to submit your child’s entry so be quick!), kids and adult Christmas craft packs and a special Christmas Bingo event. We also have the third and final Parent First Aid training session.

A big welcome to our new residents who have received their keys to 58 TORC homes in Macroom, Galway and Waterford over the past month. We’re happy to have you in the TORC community!

🎃Halloween Competitions- winners announced👻

Congratulations to the seven winners of our children’s costume competition who each received a €25 One4All voucher. We had such a high calibre of entries; it was very difficult for our judging panel to choose. Thank you also to everyone who participated in the Halloween house decoration competition in Macroom, Skibbereen and Clonakilty, we appreciated all the effort. Head over to our Facebook page to check out all the winning entries from both competitions.
