A Letter from the President  

  A Happy Summer to all. I hope you are enjoying it.

Once again it is time for our annual ‘All You Can Eat Shrimp Dinner’ fund raiser. Our fund raisers are used to make donations to different individuals and organizations which contribute to our Irish culture. Without fund raisers, the Irish Club would not have been able to sponsor the Irish Traditions performance at the PAC. Invite your family and friends and come out and join in the fun. Get your Irish up and help promote and support our culture.

Your President,    

MIKE

IRISH PERSON OF THE MONTH - JULY

Brett Rehorn is the recipient of the Irish Person of the Month for July. Brett is the Owner of Kilkenny’s Irish Pub and Eatery. Kilkenny’s projects the atmosphere of the pubs in Ireland with its fine foods and Irish beers and whiskey. Kilkenny’s is a great place to meet other Irish friends and you might even catch some good Irish music. Thank you, Brett, for being part of the Irish culture in our community. 

IRISH PERSON OF THE MONTH - AUGUST

 John Ahern is the recipient of the Irish Person of the Month for August. Many people helped put together the Irish Traditions performance but John was the driving force. He did most of the coordination; scheduled meetings and wrote the original script. The Irish Traditions show would not have occurred without John’s leadership. Congratulations to John for this great effort.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR SHRIMP DINNER

We need volunteers to help out at the Shrimp dinner starting at 3 pm. Contact Tom Hinchey if you have some free time to help out.

 A note from fellow Club member, Pat Harkin.   ‘Check out www.census.nationalarchives.ie.  It allows you to see the original Irish census forms filled out during the 1901 and 1911 census.  I was able to find both sets of my great-grandparents' census forms, complete with signature of head of household.  Pretty much all a person needs is exact spelling of name and county.  It was really nice to see the names of my grandparents, great-grandparents and all of my dad's aunts and uncles. Thought it would be of interest to club members.’ 

The 2010 Oklahoma State Championships and Feis will be held at the Meridian Convention Center in Oklahoma City September 17 and 18. The Irish American Club of Tulsa is proud to donate money for trophies and advertisement in the program.
