KROGER COMMUNITY REWARDS
Thank you ladies for shopping at Kroger and choosing to benefit the Daughters of Erin. This money is raised from Kroger Cards registered through Kroger Community Rewards.
Signing up or registering your account is easy to do. The best part is that YOU still receive your Kroger rewards (coupons, fuel perks, etc) but behind the scenes, the Daughters of Erin receives a percentage of what you spend at the Kroger Store.
In the search field, type in Daughters of Erin or enter the organization # 81910.
Thank you for your support!

CLANN NA NGAEL UPDATES
Congratulations to the 2021 Honorees
Irish Brigade, Clann Na nGael Honorees
Becky Ellis, Daughters of Erin Irish Woman of the Year
Karen Finn, Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians Member of the Year.
Bruce McPherson, Ancient Order of Hibernians Member of the Year.
Cathy Sullivan, Ancient Order of Hibernians, Commodore Barry Awardee.
Bill Harris, Emerald Society Member of the Year.
are pleased to announce the 2021 Honoree(s), THE IRISH BRIGADE.
Founded in 1979 by Dave Murphy and Pat Mogan to play a promotional event at the Lazarus Department Store in downtown Columbus, the band spent the next 19 years entertaining audiences across Central Ohio and beyond. The Brigade was a memorable cast of characters including regulars Greg Hankins, Kevin Talty, Dennis O’Hooley Smith, Phil Franck, Jim Scarf, and sound man Brian Conklin, plus many irregulars along the way. The Brigade was the original Irish traditional music group in Columbus, in more ways than one. Their enjoyment of the music and love of Irish history and culture echoes on through other music groups today.
Please join in congratulating The Irish Brigade for their contribution to the Irish community. A recognition event for all our 2020 and 2021 honorees will be scheduled in 2021.
All Clubs are closed, watch for updates in the new year.
