Matt Cassidy thanks everyone who bought or sold Trip to Ireland raffle tickets.
The outstanding effort at the St. Patrick’s Day Festival made this year’s effort the best ever.  Special thanks to Betty Mears for her enthusiastic work telephoning
and encouraging members to sell or buy tickets.

                                       Most of you know that one of my goals each
                                       year is to provide a safe place for  family
                                       members of all ages to celebrate St. Patrick’s
                                       Day. I want to thank Eileen Durham, Madonna
                                       Pauken and my wife, Penny for spending their
                                      whole St. Patrick’s Day in the kitchen.
                                                  You ladies are the best! 
                                      Thanks to Tom McCabe for all that he does and
                                      George Murnen for helping sell tickets. Thanks
                                      go to the Heinzman Irish dancers, who just keep getting better and better each time they perform. Thanks, also to  Keltic Kaleidoscope did their usual great job. My heartfelt thanks!
