When preparing mailing notices for the Irish Heritage Club's Annual General Meeting this coming Sunday, we noticed that your name was not on the membership mailing list. It appears that your Irish Heritage Club Membership has not been renewed for 2011.

We very much appreciate your previous support as a member and sincerely hope you will consider renewing your membership again. We invite you to do so at our Annual General Meeting and Election of Officers being held this coming Sunday evening, May 22, from 6-8 pm at the Wilde Rover Irish Restaurant, 111 Central Way, in downtown Kirkland. Light hors d'oeuvres will be served at 6 pm and the meeting will start at 6:30 pm. We'd love to see you there.

If you cannot attend Sunday's meeting, you can also renew your membership online via secure credit card at www.IrishClub.org, or just print the application on that website page and mail it to Irish Heritage Club, P O Box 75123, Seattle, WA 98175-0123. Membership fees are $30 per familiy and $20 per individual.

The Irish Heritage Club is a non-profit (IRS Tax ID # 94-3091691), all-volunteer, grassroots organization whose mission is to promote activities of an Irish cultural nature in western Washington. We need your financial support to help us continue our mission and urge you to keep your membership current. Our major annual activity is the organizing of the various Irish Week events, including the St. Patrick's Day Parade and the Irish Festival, but we also organize Irish activities all year round.

Cash donations are also welcome, any amount no matter how small, and your tax deductible donation will be used solely to support our mission. Just go to www.IrishClub.org.

Thank you for your support of Irish cultural activities in western Washington.

Sincerely,

Nanci Spieker,
