President’s Message
Dear Fellow Members, Yes…it’s nearly that most wonderful time of the year! I’m not talking about Christmas…I’m talking about the “high holidays”…St. Pat-rick’s Day and the wonderful events held in the month of March…most especially our beloved St. Patrick’s Day Parade! The club holds three big events during the month of March…our Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner, Parade Day and St. Patrick’s Day. Each of these events are important culturally…but are equally as important financially. While we do draw many guests and visitors to our club, we need YOU, our members, to support these events. So mark your calendars now and make plans to attend one or more of these St. Patrick’s Day events at your club. We also need manpower….LOTS of manpower to run all of these events. We charge a cover for non-member guests on Parade Day and St. Patrick’s Day. We run kitchens upstairs and downstairs on both days, as well. We have our annual Corned Beef dinner which is very labor intensive. We need help with set-up and clean up. I promise you that you’ll work hard but you will also have a great time and have the satisfaction that you contributed to the success of these events. Information regarding these volunteer opportunities are contained in this newsletter. In this newsletter you will find a copy of our revised House Rules. The House Committee was charged last fall with updating these rules. However, they felt that most of the rules were just fine and they simply tweaked a few. These rules will also be posted on the club’s website.
All the best,
President
Irish American Home Society Inc.
