Fund raising for McHale Park 1960's.

The chat about the present developments in McHale reminded me of earlier efforts. Gerry McDonald was the driving force and I remember going to his house evenings and weekends and stuffing envelopes with books of raffle tickets. These, I presume, were posted to Mayo exiles around the world.Older boys used to get the job of closing the envelopes and they used to arrange lines of them with the gum flaps aligned and run a wet sponge along then seal them. We got a shilling every now and then for our troubles.
