WHITE ROCK - The Irish Club of White Rock hosts its first official function since taking over the main floor of the Elks Hall in White Rock on February 14. The room was beautifully decorated with a brand new banner right up front proclaiming the hall as the Irish Club of White Rock.

The Valentine’s Day dance was a rousing success with a full house and everyone in a party mood. Sean and Marie Russell supplied all the right music for the dancers as well as some ceili music for the Seige of Ennis, the dance floor was full all night. Later in the evening there was a long line-up for roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with all the trimmings, just what the dancers needed to keep their energy level up for the dance floor.
On March 13, the Irish Club of White Rock will host a St. Patrick’s day dinner dance at the Star of the Sea Hall in White Rock and club president Brendan Hamill said, “we are completely sold out for the St. Patrick’s dinner dance. It’s a far cry from years past when we would have to sell tickets after every mass at the Star of the Sea Parish to ensure a crowd for the event.”
Since its approval as a club and take-over of the bottom floor of the Elks Hall, the Irish Club of White Rock is steadily moving ahead with spirit and energy. They are currently working on a schedule of events for the upcoming months.
