TOY
DONATIONS
We are aware of the growing need in our area for help with the holidays this year. State Representative DeShanna Neal has asked the New Castle County Irish Society to be a toy collection location. These toys will be for the children staying at the Hope Center.
Our location will be available on Wednesdays,
December 3rd and 10th, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Our friends at Stapler have also
asked if we would like to participate in their toy collection for the Mayor of
the City of Wilmington. We will collect these donations at our Christmas Party
on Wednesday, December 17th. If
you have any questions please feel free to call Cathy Jones at 302-994-4231.
Wishing everyone a Blessed Christmas and a Happy, Healthy 2026!

~DECEMBER 17 – CHRISTMAS PARTY
THE CORRECT DATE FOR THE PARTY IS DECEMBER 17th, NOT THE 18th AS PREVIOUSLY PRINTED.
The Dance Class and the Pub Christmas Party will be held in the main hall on Wednesday evening, starting at 6:00 P.M., for all dancers and members. It would be greatly appreciated, but not required, if all attendees bring an appetizer or dessert to share. To avoid duplicates, call Cathy at 302-547-8390 to tell her if you will bring a dessert or an appetizer. The last 10-Week drawing will also be held during the party.
~ MONTHLY
BOOK CLUB ~
We started a monthly Book Club this fall. We will meet on a Sunday
afternoon to expand the availability as much as possible. We will be taking
advantage of the Book Club that is available through the Delaware Libraries.
Each kit comes packaged with a large quantity of the titles and discussion
questions. You are, of course, welcome to acquire a copy of the monthly selection
through other means if you’d prefer. If you are interested, contact Cathy Jones
at 302.994.4231.
