Hi all,

As most of you may know, or have heard of Rozabeez, she was taken from us due to methanol poisoning while teaching in Indonesia in 2011.
It's hard to believe that this was 3 years ago, but is testament that she's always around in our hearts.

Family and friends are holding a Fundraiser in Maynooth on the 29th of March and it would be wonderful if people could attend.

Entry is €10 per person

Quote from facebook page

We are holding a Fundraiser in memory of Roisin Burke who passed away 31/5/2011 due to methanol poisoning. All proceeds of this event will go towards A Drink To Die From and L.I.A.M - Lifesaving Initiatives Against Methanol.

The event will be held on Sat the 29th of March 2014 in the Glenroyal Hotel in Maynooth.

For this fundraiser we are holding a masquerade ball. We will have an open mic and a DJ afterwards. The theme for this ball is undecided yet, it will either be Under The Sea or Mardi Gras - other suggestions are welcome also.

Tickets for this event will be €10pp and we will also be hosting a raffle on the night.

I hope you can all make it and make this a great night for a great cause.

I'll round up a few old hacks for the event.

I never knew Roz in real life but we always got on really well through here. I airways regret that I never got to meet her properly and I remember being so upset when I heard about her death.

I've been trying to find a way to make the event for a while now because unfortunately I'm meant to be working that day but I really like to encourage as many as possible to make the event. It's a lovely way to honour Roz.

What a lovely idea. Hopefully I will be able to make it. If not, is there anywhere online where you can donate?

Maybe this thread could be stickied for the next while?

Just posted up in AH with an update.

To get tickets you can email rosiemcconville@gmail.com for enquiries. This is Roe's friend (Banquo, I'd say you know her too).

She's just awating an update too from Roe's mam about how to donate directly to the charities.

I just wanted to say that last night was a great night even though I unfortunately had to arrive quite late. Well done to all those that organised it!
