Our Irish Society was founded in 1993 by a dedicated group of people
who wished to support Irish culture in our area through Dance,
Community Activities, Social and Cultural Events.
Throughout the year we hold a variety of activities at our Irish Center that include dinners, breakfasts and other events. Our annual 'Fest' is held in October. In December we have a Children's Christmas party, where Santa visits and hands out gifts to the children and grandchildren of our members. You can check 'Events' page for a list of what is happening each month at the Irish Center.
We offer Irish Ceili and Set Dance lessons from September through May for beginners and experienced dancers. For further information on these classes, contact Lessons at nccirishsociety.org.

| April 22 Ceili |
We have a monthly Ceili that is held from September through May including a Potluck Dinner at our February Ceili. The public is welcome to join us in an enjoyable afternoon of great live music and Irish friendship.
Our newsletter, the "LEPRECHAUN", is published monthly to inform our members of activities at our Center. For a complimentary copy, contact Bill Hickey at hickstr23wfh@ comcast.net.
Each year our Club presents the "Erin Award" to one of our members. This is a very special honor given for his or her dedication and service to our Club throughout the year.
