The Feast of St. Patrick is celebrated each year by the Shamrock Club with a procession to Mass, Mass, Parade, and the annual Irish Family Reunion.

Memorial patioAs you may or not have seen, the entrance to the Shamrock Club has engraved bricks that memorialize family names, past presidents, companies or just an expression from Irish Culture. We are once again marketing this opportunity to support the Shamrock Club by purchasing an engraved 8"x8" brick. Each brick costs $100 and you can put any tasteful message on that brick. Purchases of three or more bricks receive a discount of $25 on each brick. It's a great, long-lasting gift for your favorite Shamrock Club member, family occasion or advertisement for your business. All proceeds benefit the Home Committee and support improvements being made to your club. Our goal is to sell 100 bricks. To order a brick you can call Brigid Garrison at the Shamrock Club office 614-491-4449, fill out an order form at the Pub or email the club office shamrockclub1936@yahoo.com Click here to print an order form if you want to mail it in. |
