Mark Your Calendar for Next Irish Senior Luncheon
VANCOUVER - Last December the Celtic Society of Canada hosted a hugely successful luncheon for the Irish seniors in our community. Afterwards, many people asked to be informed about the next one as they had so much fun at the first one.
So...here it is! The next Irish seniors luncheon will be held on May 28 at the Holiday Express in Vancouver.
The Celtic Society of Canada is a non-profit benevolent organization established in 1994 which has provided emergency short-term assistance to numerous individuals in the Irish community.
Now, through a grant by the Irish Emigrant Programme, the Government of Ireland has provided a wonderful opportunity for Irish seniors abroad to come together in a social setting. Many would not have the opportunity to meet otherwise.
The December luncheon was a magical afternoon and still being talked about by all those in attendance. Guests enjoyed the music of talented Irish singer Mark Downey and after dinner many took a turn at the microphone to share their favourite tunes and poems with a rapt and appreciative audience.
The next luncheon is planned for 12 noon on May 28 at the Holiday Inn Express located at 2889 Hastings Street in Vancouver (near Renfrew Street). The luncheon will be held in the Cyprus Room off the main lobby and is open to all Irish seniors and their spouse or significant other.
Marie Morris is the co-ordinator of the Irish Emigrant senior programme in the Vancouver Lower Mainland. Anyone wishing to attend the luncheon is encouraged to reserve as soon as possible. Deadline for reservations is May 25.
Reservations are required and can be made by calling Marie at (604) 929-1042, Catherine Brennan at (604) 266-4183, or by e-mail to: maura@telus.net.
