BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ MESSAGE
2010-2011 OFFICERS
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Joe O’Leary
President
Bill Luqué
Vice President
The Center would like to acknowledge and thank the Kerry Club for its generous donation
of $1000, 00. Be assured that your thoughtfulness will be used wisely.
John Flynn
Treasurer
Again, Noreen Corry has donated a wonderful book to the Center. “Ballroom of
Romance.” The KRB revisited, is a treasury of memories of happy times. Thanks.
Mike Bowler

2010-2011 OFFICERS
LADIES AUXILIARY
Molly Fitzpatrick
Vice President
Alice Mayo
Secretary/Treasurer
The Board and Membership would like to thank Joe O’Leary and John Flynn. Joe and John
have served as President and Treasurer, respectfully, for the last three years and now will be
stepping down. The United Irish Cultural Center is most grateful for the long hours each
of these members has given to us. Joe’s leadership and steady hand in guiding the Board and
John’s wonderful financial record keeping has kept us on course and afloat. Thanks lads.
The Board has approved the issuing of a financial appeal letter to all of our members. This
letter will be coming to all in the very near future. Please consider this a real opportunity
to support the Center. We pay no dues, and repairs and upkeep are expensive. We hope all
of you will consider supporting the Center in this manner.
John Gallagher
Secretary
Anne Quilter
President
Dear Members and Friends;
We would like to thank all of you who have dinned in our restaurant this last month.
Thursday nights seem to be a major problem. The lack of use on Thursdays by our members will surely lead to a shutdown of the restaurant on that night. Again, the only way we
can avoid the closing of the restaurant on Thursday nights will be an uptake in attendance
by our members and friends.
Please note: The annual General Membership meeting will be held on May 26th. Please
plan to attend.
Sincerely,
UICC Board of Directors
