COMING ENTERTAINMENT AND SPORTING EVENTS FOR THE START OF THE SUMMER PROGRAM.

The club intends to hold an entertainment night on the last Saturday of every month.  

The Seniors chapter (55 and older) organized an evening dinner Cruise around the Toronto Islands on July 21st Open to all Club members

By any standard the trip was an outstanding success, unfortunatly we were allotted only 50 tickets and many members were dissappointed as the tickets where sold out in record time.

We have had many inquiries as to when we will be repeating the trip and the answer is we will try to get another cruise organized before the end of the Summer . In any  case we will be making this at least an annual event and if the demand is there we will hope to book the whole ship and fill it with members and friends for a wholly irish night.

Below are some pictures of the members enjoying what turned out to be  truly memorable evening.

A big thank you to the Senior executive for organizing the event.
