A
Letter from the President
Happy New Year, all! I hope your holidays were filled with the
three
"F"s family, friends, and fun! Now that we are into the
new year, the
board is working on several activities for our coming meetings.
The
dance classes on Monday nights have started up again. Come by
and check them out. If you haven't come before they are held at
Central Park at 6th and Peoria. I'd also like to invite anyone
interested to visit our board meetings. They are held on the 4th
Thursday of the month at Hardesty Regional Library.
If you have any ideas for the events for the club, or just want to
see
how we do things, come and join us. Our board meetings
are
always open and we'd love input from our membership.
Congratulations to our own Betty Thompson, Miss Oklahoma, for
winning the talent preliminary portion of the Miss America
competition!
Sláinte sábháilte agus Bí libh go léir!

CHRISTMAS PARTY – ANOTHER GREAT TIME
The Christmas Party was a huge success. We had a nice turnout for the
luncheon and even a
bigger crowd for the party at
Shadow Mountain condos. Thank you to Eric & Seamus
Ryan-Johnson, Alexa Van Horn,
and Susan Nichols for entertaining us with Irish and
Christmas music. And how about
all the wonderful voices we have in the Irish Club. The
singing was fantastic. Thanks
to Anne and Mike Loughran for coordinating the event at the
condos and Kathy Hinchey for
coordinating the luncheon.

Free Irish Ceili dance classes are held on Monday nights from 7 to 8:30 at the Central Center in Centennial Park, 1028 East 6th Street.
