As many of you may remember that my son Colin tried out and made the Irish National Lacrosse Team last October and is going to be representing Ireland in the European Championships in June. We are obviously thrilled and anxious for Ireland’s success. Just like the Olympic teams they do not receive financial support from the Government so all money is through donations. Please consider the following:

Colin is hosting a fundraiser for the Irish Lacrosse Team Monday April 23rd at the Claddagh on the Southside. Every player is required to host a Team Fundraiser to help offset costs for the European Championships in June. I attached the game schedule and as luck would have it Ireland opens the Tourney against the Team from England…..imagine that….lol… Also, there is a media guide which we are collecting business ads or short personal blips(see attached media for pricing). The cost of the event is a meager $25.00 and includes a pint of beer and some hors`doeuvres. We think we have Irish entertainment and some auction items. Additionally, the team designed an Irish Lax shirt for sale $20.00 per and are available at any time by writing back to me. Additionally if anyone has items to donate for the auction let me know?

I hope to see everyone there and have a proud pint o`Guinness with ye`all. Thanks for your support and consideration.
