We have been contacted by Andy McGovern  of  Sunnamore, Cloone. He has published a book called “Against the Odds” dealing with his life in Leitrim starting in 1936. Mr. McGovern  was diagnosed with MND (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease) in 1976. He wrote his book with voice recognition as he has lost the use of both his arms and legs. His book is available  for purchase on Amazon.com and all proceeds go to fund research for a cure.

The next meeting will be held on March 4th, 2014 at 8PM at Gerard’s Restaurant in Adam’s Corner. All Are Welcome!
