Remembering our deceased Board Members at this special time of the year, and always:

Deceased Board

December 2024


Dear Members,            


On behalf of the Board of Directors, I extend our warmest holiday wishes. It's a wonderful time of the year as we gather with loved ones to celebrate this glorious season!


I share with you an Irish Blessing:


May peace and plenty be the first

to lift the latch on your door,

and happiness be guided to your home

by the candle of Christmas.

God's blessings and peace be yours

throughout this New Year.


We are so thankful to you for your continued support and engagement, and for our many volunteers whose dedication to our Mission enables our programs and initiatives to succeed.


I look forward to updating you in the New Year regarding our newest initiative, made possible with member support and support from a Government of Ireland Emigrant Support Programme grant. We are very excited about the opportunity to provide visitors to our Interpretive Center with greater access to our digitized collections.


On behalf of the Board, thank you again for the gift of your membership in our organization, and our warmest wishes for Peace and Joy this holiday season and in the New Year.



Nollaig Shona Dhuit

Deanna Conheeny


Be merry,

Deanna
