March Newsletter
“May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Love is when the other person’s happiness is more important than your own.”
The March dinner is our annual fabulous corned beef & cabbage prepared by our own Mike Griffin, and assisted by our CIA chefs, Jay Avila & George Nickas. To enhance our tribute to St. Patrick’s Day, you will arrive to the sound of a traditional bagpiper. Cost is $20.00.
