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!

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 6^th Street.
