Marge Flynn Have you marked your calendar for Sun, Sept. 27th, 6:00 pm? That is the date of the next program your McNeeley Library will present in the Madison Room at our WSIA Club. We have invited the authors of Images of America – Irish Cleveland by John Myers and Judith Cetina, to speak about how they assembled the photos and information. This is a photo essay book written about the Irish of Cleveland, it not only has many photos and references to our WSIA Club, the cover of the book features a 1978 photo of Joe Patten, Mike McGinty, Bill O’Malley and Pat O’Malley marching down the avenue for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, proudly carrying the WSIA Club flag. You can see and read about our churches, orphanages, priests, the many clubs and organizations, dance schools, sports, pubs, and so much more. You will see pictures of Carneys, Sweeneys, Nugents, Barrys, Kilbanes, Corrigans and so many more. I’ll bet your very own relatives are among those depicted in this book. Bring the family and enjoy light refreshments and relaxed camaraderie. There is no cover charge.

Wicklow, Ireland FAMINE MEMORIAL MASS Pat Dowd The 16th Annual Famine Memorial Mass will be celebrated by Father Jim O’Donnell on Saturday, September 19th at 5:00 PM at the Famine Memorial site in the Flats. Every year, since the dedication in 2000, hundreds come to the site to remember and honor those who fled the famine and left Ireland to seek a better life in America. Sadly, the “coffin ships” prevented many from reaching our shores. Many of our ancestors were among those brave people – some perished, and others were able to make their way here. $35.00 Non-Members For Tickets or to Reserve a Table for 8 or 10 Call Maureen Lavelle @ 216-941-3438 Achill-Cleveland Experience Opportunity Do you have an Achill-Cleveland immigration story? Would you like to have your family story and name honored and remembered? Well now you can! The Achill Deserted Village & Maritime Center is to become Achill Island’s first all-weather tourism facility. The center will provide history, education and entertainment for both adults and children. Opening date is set for next summer or fall 2016. “Lest we forget” – this Mass is our way of remembering the sacrifices that were made by so many Irish men, women, and children. Contact Colleen Corrigan Day for more information about securing your family name and story in the center. Please send your information (Family name, phone number, address and email) to email: [email protected]; address: 1107 Meadowlawn Blvd., Parma, OH 44134; or call 216-956-7651.
