A short write up on our techie table quiz hosted by Workday on Mon Nov 25th.

❤️ On behalf of Declan, Mick, Dale, Naomi and Lais, we want to thank you for supporting our table quiz last night. We raised €885.60 for the Dublin Simon Community! It was a great turn out, given I forgot to send a reminder email!

It’s actually €885.60 Missed out a €2 coin! 🙌🏼 #IrishGeeks

I’ll get full confirmation letter from Dublin Simon when I drop in the cash (this week or next Monday the earliest, they don’t open Saturdays) & this period is a very busy time for them. https://t.co/c8HXDYtm19 pic.twitter.com/SUTeP2rXiG
