A message from Dan Dunne to his Monroe High School colleagues:

I wanted to thank those of you who supported my daughter’s Lady Lakers U-13 AAU basketball team’s efforts to raise funds for our trip to Ireland next month. Through your generosity (attending happy hours at Nathaniels and Johnny’s, buying Delta Sonic car washes, sponsoring my daughter in the Free Throw-a-Thon, and simple donations), the Monroe community had contributed over $500 towards the trip for this great group of young ladies! As their coach and your colleague I greatly appreciate your support! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for these girls to experience living in another culture, playing basketball at the international level, as well as seeing first hand how going to Irish schools compares to their schools back here.

Thank you again for your assistance and kind words of support!

Dan

a toast for St. Patrick's Day!

May you never forget what is worth remembering,
Or remember what is best forgotten.

Ancient Order of Hibernian's St. Patrick's Day Parade Hospitality Reception


Tony/Jen, Matt/Maria, and Alyssa raised $337 selling raffle tickets at the Ancient Order of Hibernian Post 7's St. Patrick's Day Parade Hospitality Reception following the 12:30 parade downtown. The girls did a nice job selling the raffle tickets.

The Hibernians have been very generous and good to us! They have either directly or indirectly helped us secure over $2,500 of the funds needed to get the girls over to Ireland.
