  Katie Fox, National Coordinator of the Coalition of Irish Immigration Centers, who will be a special guest at the June 25th Irish Seniors' Luncheon in Kirkland. 
Greetings!

You are invited to attend the Irish Seniors' Luncheon being held on Saturday, June 25 (one week from Saturday), at 12 NOON at the Wilde Rover Irish Restaurant in Kirkland, and feel free to also invite other Irish Seniors to attend with you. The cost of the buffet lunch is $10 per person, the reduced cost made possible by a grant from Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs in Dublin, and by the generosity of the folks at the Wilde Rover.

 
The Wilde Rover Irish Restaurant is at 111 Central Way, Kirkland, just north of Hwy 520 and west of I-405. From I-405, take Exit # 18 (85th St/Central Way) heading west, and go about 1 mile to the restaurant. There's a public parking lot at the rear of the building in addition to area on-street parking.  

 

The main purpose of these luncheons is to provide an opportunity to meet and greet old and new friends. Over 300 different Irish seniors, the majority of whom are Irish-born, have attended these luncheons over the past three years. All of the luncheons have been wonderful, fun occasions and we sincerely hope you will be able to make this one.

 

A Special Guest at this Luncheon will be Katie Fox, the new National Coordinator of the Coalition of Irish Immigration Centers, a national umbrella organization that represents Irish immigrant groups throughout the United States and liaises with the Irish Abroad Unit of the Department of Foreign Affairs in Dublin. Based in San Francisco, Katie is originally from Co. Offaly and this is her first visit to the Seattle area.

 

Advance reservations for the luncheon are required with the names of all guests so that we can prepare name tags and provide an accurate count to the restaurant. Please contact Lorraine Cunningham at 206-915-1878 or email Seniors@irishclub.org.   

 

We hope to see you on Saturday, June 25, at 12 Noon at the Wilde Rover in Kirkland. Because the luncheon is less than two weeks away, we suggest that you make your reservations as soon as possible if you do plan to attend.


Sincerely,

John Keane
Wilde Rover
