Our thanks to Kevin Fox for re-engineering the lights and fans in the second room. Please thank him when you see him. It will be much easier to work the lights and fans. The next job for Kevin will be installation of security cameras and a new alarm system. We also thank Scott Barnett for his work on the sound system, which should be completed this month.
Finally, thanks to Brian Murphy and Ed Mead, for doing all those little jobs that need doing around the clubhouse, and keep things working.
The Board is discussing a plan to repave the parking lot, and the installation of a patio along the side of the building during the summer. You will be hearing more about this in the coming months.
We are also looking at installation of a sign at the Spring Street corner of the building, and replacement of one or more of the bar coolers.
Obviously, these projects cost money and can put a significant strain on our treasury. Which is why we need you to do your best to promote and work on our Irish Festival. Get your raffle tickets from Tracy and Terri tonight before you leave. Buy and wear one of our Festival T-shirts. Pick up a yard sign or two. And make sure you fill out a Volunteer form. Jenn Hussey and her Committee have been working hard to come up with a stellar Festival this year, but it doesn’t work without your help that weekend.
For those who haven’t heard, the Picnic is on. This is the last meeting to sign up with Paula McGill before the festivities on August 12. Thanks to all those who stepped up to work on organizing the event.
My thanks to the new Board, who have jumped in with both feet to keep things moving along seamlessly.
As always, my ear and my time are always available if you have a question or a suggestion.
Respectfully,
Michael McCabe
President

The IHSM Annual Irish Festival held in September, is in dire need of help this year!

Chairs and/or Co-Chairs are needed!

The Festival is a celebration of our Irish culture and traditions. It brings together friends and families in celebration of our heritage. The Festival is also the biggest moneymaker for IHSM. The success of past Festivals has provided the funds with which our beautiful Clubhouse was purchased.

Volunteers are needed for all committees and shifts.

Please consider becoming involved with the planning and execution of this wonderful event.
