Future Construction of an Irish Heritage Center |
The Irish-American Society of NM established a separate non-profit corporation to raise funds for an Irish Heritage Center in the greater Albuquerque or Rio Rancho area in the not to distant future. As envisioned, the Center would provide a forum for artistic and literary events as well as programs and fesitvals for all members of our multicultural community. Included in the Center would also be a museum and library of Celtic history and culture. Our first major fundraiser was the Inaugural Emerald Ball last March 17, 2007 at the Albuquerque Marriott Hotel. Pictures from the event can be seen at Emerald Ball. The Board of the Heritage Center Inc. is newly formed and looking for additional board members to assist in our fundraising efforts. We hope to be all inclusive in regards to Irish and Celtic culture, thereby providing educational opportunities, social activities, and a historical background for current and future generations to enjoy. We would be honored to have increased community participation in future fundraising events. For further information please contact Kate Nash at 615-7732 or marykate_nash@msn.com. |
