Hello Ladies of the Daughters of Erin,
We can't wait to see you tomorrow for the November meeting! We're preparing for the holidays and the annual Children's Christmas Party and Christmas dinner and Membership meeting where we name the 2023 Irishwoman of the Year.
All are invited to meet and thank Cardo's Pizza and Tavern for their donation to the Daughters of Erin for the annual Golf Outing. We will meet 6:30-7 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 15, at Cardo's Pizza and Tavern, 7897 Refugee Road, Pickerington, OH 43147. If you plan to attend, please let a Board Member know or respond to this email, so we can have a table big enough! Thank you.
If you have an idea for an activity or event, please share it with us -- we want each of you to be an active part of the Daughters of Erin.
We are thankful for each and every member and their families. I am so proud of the Daughters of Erin and the work we do in the community and with all Irish organizations.
Thank you,
Sharon
