Hello Ladies of the Daughters of Erin,
I am so proud of the women of our membership who volunteered for Msgr. Cody's 50th Anniversary Mass and dinner! It was a wonderful Mass and evening with his family and friends! Thank you for setting up, decorating, welcoming the attendees, serving and cleaning up. We are so proud Msgr. is our Chaplain and firends.
As we prepare for the holiday season the Board is excited to announce the 2023 charities at the membership meeting on Sunday. The annual tradition of our members nominating organizations that benefit from the funds we raise is rewarding. We also have three new central Ohio organizations to make donations to as part of our charity donations at meetings. On behalf of the Board we want to thank all the members who participated this year.
If you ordered a T-shirt, they will be at the Oct. meeting. Please bring cash or check made out to Daughters of Erin.
If you want to order shirts, we have green and gray in sizes M-4X, the cost is @ $15-20 per shirt. Pricing depends on how many shirts are ordered.
Please contact Karen Kane Jones at kkj1126@gmail.com by Wednesday, Oct. 11. Pick up shirts at the November meeting.
Thank you,
Sharon
