This years 2007 St Patrick’s Day Parade is fast approaching. All the fun takes place on March 11th 2007. But we cannot pull this off without your help. Make sure you attend the February meeting to sign up and help staff one of our biggest days. We need everyone’s support.
 
 
Hats and Jackets
At the January meeting, the subject of FOUI hats and jackets for members was raised. Brother Joe Parsky is investigating our options and will report at the February meeting.
 
 
The Chowders were scheduled to sing at the American House in Sterling Hgts. on January 29th. There was no practice in February, but for all those interested in singing, see Don Mulrenin at the meeting or show up at their practice on the 1st Tuesday of the month, at the Gaelic League.
