Hero Shields Project to raise €75k

Thu, 2020/04/09 - 13:09 by bbl_admin

Bantry Bay Lions are in the forefront of a Project to donate towards the manufacture of Face Shields (see photo below) as part of the Personal Protection Equipment essential for the HSE and many other organisations on the Island of Ireland.

Macroom Lions are leading this campaign to raise €75k to get 200,000 of these visors made as soon as possible. There are two companies making them, one in the North and one in the Republic and they are all voluntary and at cost only. Production should have already started.

Just thought I would blog about our hosts, Webfaction, and give them the praise they deserve. I have this site and a couple of others hosted by Webfaction.
I always find the support to be quick, accurate, and comprehensive. They are willing to give advice even when it is quite technical.
They have been able to alert me to possible problems, particularly on the security aspect, and enable me to take action, and have been especially useful in helping me prevent future problems.
If I could sing a song about how Great they are, I would. Thanks you webfaction.
