Parade Update
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.

For the second year in a row, the
