Dear Members,

Spring has arrived bringing warmer weather and dashes of color in flower beds. It is the
perfect time to attend functions at the Irish Center. Please refer to the attached calendars
for a complete schedule of activities.

The Mother’s Day Mass/Brunch begins at 10 AM on May 11th. This annual event is very
popular because it is an ideal opportunity to relax with old/new friends in a casual setting.
Paint Night will be held on May 6th and June 10th.Participants receive a kit that includes
one of several wooden figures which must be reserved in advance.

The attached leaflets provide the details of these upcoming events.*

The Society has leased access to the GAA games for the entire season. However, we need
volunteers to operate the video system. Please contact us if you are willing to host the
games on a few weekend days.

​

The Society Library is beginning a new and exciting phase. Our librarians Rose Kelly-
Lyons and Amy Traver with the assistance of Lena Kelly are cataloging and digitizing the

library collection. The Society will accept donations of books about Irish history, culture,
language, sport, dance, knitting and other topics of interest to the membership. We
welcome volunteers to participate in this project which is an ideal opportunity for students
who are interested in history or library science especially those who seek community
service credit. Please contact the Center for additional information. Our library should
serve as a community center and provide a variety of programs to engage our membership.
Please express your opinions about the future of the Society Library by completing the survey.
