What a great day for

the Shamrock Club,

our first Classic Car

& Bike show was

truly unbelievable!!!!

I had never been to a

car show so wasn’t

sure what it was all

about. Molly Truex,

Heidi Motika and their crew provided our

club with another huge success. It was

such a great time thank you so very much

for all the work you put into this. The tro-

phies, plaques, door prizes, weather, disc

jockey, food, goody bags were all out-

standing. A big thank you to Beth Berke-

mer who saved the day with a huge dis-

count from City BBQ. Thank you to Paul

Carrick and Mark Dempsey for all you

did, we couldn’t have done it without you.

The people who came loved our grounds

and club it was so nice hearing all the

good things they had to say. Next year

will be even better Molly tells me.

Well it is halfway to the big day, isn’t it??

Ann Ralston, Richie & Julie Clemons

threw another great party on Sept. 16.

Thank you for all your hard work you

couldn’t have done any better it was per-

fect.

Dart leagues have started up again so if

you are out and about on those nights

come on down visit some old friends may

be make some new ones.

We have finally found the perfect food

vendor for our kitchen. It is a husband &

wife team who have many, many years in

the food service business. It is Rob &

Christie McClaskey and they will be up

and running in October. Just watch your

weekly email blast for the date. We had 2

trial runs and by all accounts the food is

tremendous. Everything they serve is

fresh never frozen.

There is always something going on at the

club so try to stop down. We the members

can only make an event successful by

showing up so please come down and see

what you are missing I don’t think you

will be sorry you did.

Speedy recovery to Irene Kenney who had

some hand surgery this week. Please hurry

back before the office falls apart!!!!

Your board is hard at work trying to bring

you new things, old things, anything they

can think of for the success of YOUR

club. Please try to support them anyway

you can.

Lots of fun coming up in October, No-

vember, December, January, February,

March, and April.

Some great music, auction and a karaoke

night are just a few things planned.

As my Mother always said “volunteer -

you not only help the cause you get to

meet new people.”

God Bless

Sunshine Committee Report

Treasurer’s Report

As of report submission date, the Executive Board has not yet met

to review and approve the financials for August 2017 report will

be brief.

We had a successful event for Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day!

Thank you to the event chairs and all of the volunteers to made

this a wonderful night for so many of our members, new and old

alike. Event profit is up over $1,300 compared to this time last

year: $4,700 for 2017 versus $3,360 – this does not include bar

revenues.

With the change of seasons, please look at the Club’s calendar

when making plans for an evening out or joining one of the many

dart leagues. The kitchen is back under new management and sure

to have something for everyone!

It’s never too late to join the C-Note Club or President’s Club – a

portion of each membership is allocated to every Club event. So if

you are unable to attend an event in person you can be assured

that, by being a C-Note or President’s Club level member, your

support directly impacts and is truly appreciated. Remember, it’s

YOUR Club whether you live near or far!

Respectfully,

Amy Graham - Treasurer

NO SUPER JACKPOT DRAWING AT THE GENERAL MEET-

ING ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2017

All the proceeds from the Super Jackpot benefit the Msgr. J.

Colby Grimes Scholarship Fund. The guidelines are as follows:

The price of the tickets will be – 1 for $5.00; 3 for $10.00;

and 9 for $20.00.

If the ace of Hearts, Diamonds or Clubs are drawn, $50.00

will be awarded to the member who is lucky enough to have

their named drawn.

If anyone of the Kings are drawn [Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs

or Spades], the member will received $25.00 for each King

The Super Jackpot will be approximately $2,500 for the

drawing at the October 1, 2017 General Meeting

Currently, the scholarship fund has $4,140 in the account and

the Shamrock Club is no longer supplementing the scholarship

fund as it has in the past, therefore, while the scholarship com-

mittee will continue to hold fundraisers, we will wait until our

scholarship fund reaches $5,000 before we offer this scholarship

as tuition assistance to the five Diocesan schools again.

Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians Celtic New Year Party

The Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians invite you to join the Clay-

ton Stemen Fundraiser/Kids Celtic New Year Event.

Clayton Stemen is the great grandson of recently deceased Hooligan

Bob Cain, grandson of Hooligan Kevin Cain and grandson, son &

nephew to LAOH members Phyllis Cain, Lindsay Stemen and Erin

Farley. Four-year-old Clayton, his parents and family have been

working effortlessly to get him properly diagnosed with his health

ailments. Through many doctor appointments, ambulance runs and

numerous tests at Children's Hospital Columbus & now Children's

Hospital in Cincinnati, Clayton has reached a one-year milestone of being seizure free!! This is due

in large part to his response to the ever-changing medication regiments he is enduring. In an effort

to assist Clayton with this journey and attempt to ease the expense for his family we are hosting this

fundraiser on his behalf.

Please join us Sunday October 29th from 1 - 4pm at Tara Hall for the Clayton Stemen fundraiser/

Kids Celtic New Year. Scheduled performances by: kid friendly Irish historian, Irish story teller,

entertainment by the Hooligans and other Celtic New Year traditions that you didn't know you al-

ready celebrate!

For more information and donations please contact Megan Kelly @ [email protected].

If you are interested in becoming one of the Shamrock’s “Best” Chili Cookers---enter the 8th Annual Chili

Cook-off that is held during the November 4th meeting.

You will need to have your Chili at the Club no later than 1:00- Judging will start at 1:30. It is best

to bring your chili in a crock-pot to keep it hot.

There are two main categories Mild and Spicy. The judges will be awarding points in the following areas:

Chili will be judged according to 4 criteria.

Chili will be rated on a scale of zero to 5 for each of the 4 categories-

1. Aroma – Chili should smell good. This also indicates what’s in store when you taste it.

2. Taste – Taste, above all else, taste is the most important factor. The taste

should consist of a combination of meat, spices, etc. with no particular ingredient

being dominant.

3. After-taste – The aftertaste or bite is the heat created by the various types of

spices and or peppers.

4. Name- Name is unique and creative

A “People Choice” will also be given. Members can cast their votes for their favorite mild and spicy.

This voting will take place after the meeting.

For questions on the Chili Cook-Off please email Beth Motika at [email protected]
