With high hopes of getting into Aunt Gertie's will Dan and Mary find they have their work cut out for them and when Gertie apparently ‘dies’ Dan comes up with an elaborate plan to get their hands on her money. Meanwhile Dan and Mary's son John Paul, an aspiring musician, is busy planning on hitting the big time.

The flagship project is the Áthas School in Kiltimagh which caters for children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. On hand to accept the cheque on behalf of Mayo Autism Action was Pat Kearns who thanked all those involved with Parke Arts and Drama, and thanked them for their generous donation which will go towards helping with the running of the school. The Parke Arts and Drama Group has donated more than €3,500 over the last three years to worthwhile charities such as Enable Ireland, Western Alzheimers, Hospice Uganda, Tsunami Appeal, and other local charities.
