Newsletter Summer 2025

​

Summer has arrived and if you brush the sand off your feet, you are welcome to enjoy the
air-conditioning at the Irish American Center as you attend our upcoming events.

There has been substantial progress in rehabilitating the Center during the last several
months. The roof has been completely resurfaced, a contract to replace the dumbwaiter has
been awarded and we are preparing to replace the carpet in the lobby. These necessary
renovations are expensive and therefore, we need your support for our annual Super Raffle
the proceeds of which will help replenish our Capital Improvement Account. Raffle tickets
are $100 each and a prize of $500 will be awarded to the individual who sells the most
tickets. The drawing will held in conjunction with the Harvest Moon Ball on September
27th.

Ger O’Donnell and Trevor Sexton (TRASNA) will be performing on July 18th. They will
be available to socialize with attendees at 6:30PM and the concert will begin at 7:30PM.

The All-Ireland Senior Champion Games are rapidly approaching. We have the ability to
telecast the Hurling Finals on July 20th and the Football Finals on July 27th but only if
enough members volunteer to staff the activities. Please contact the office (516-746-9392)
to sign up for a shift.

The Society Meeting will be held on July 22nd and as usual a meeting has
not been scheduled in August.

Irish American Night will be held at Eisenhower Park on August 4th at 7PM. The
honorees are: Bridget McNulty, Patrick Myers, Patrick J Smith and Kit Smith. You are
