Italian dinner to help the Ancient Order of Hibernians

Hi

I'm trying to get this event out to as many people as I can .  We could use all the support we can get in keeping the Center open.  Let me know if anyone can make it on the 16th or can give us a hand.  Thanks  

The men and women of Worcester's AOH, Division 36 are hosting an Italian dinner on Saturday, April 16th from 5:00PM – 8:00PM at the Hibernian Cultural Center, (Fiddler's Green) 19 Temple St in Worcester. 

The dinner will include pasta and meatballs, bread, salad, desserts and beverages. Live entertainment will be provided by John Riley and Bucky Sheehan.  Your ticket will also be entered into a drawing for $300.00 worth of lottery tickets. 

Cost of the tickets will be $10.00 for adults and $7.00 for children under 12.  Tickets and table reservations may be purchased at Fiddlers' Green at 19 Temple St.  Please come and enjoy a great evening.

The Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH) is America's oldest Irish Catholic organization.  Our motto is Friendship, Unity and Christian Charity.  Our fund raising events help to foster Irish culture and support the Catholic Church in her charitable works

how Irish dancing originated

Some fun for Friday! This is how Irish dancing originated.



And this makes perfect sense, after all aren't they noted for being drinkers!


(And yes, I have Irish heritage, at least half! Although there is usually a discussion with the French on which is the better half, but we'll leave that for another day.)

There is no one as Irish as Barack Obama

How about a little fun this Friday?

This will come back around next St Patrick's Day but in the meantime, there is no one as Irish as Barack Obama. See what happens when you change the accent on the syllables just a little bit!

Dinner with Nate at O'Connors

Dinner with Nate at O'Connors, originally uploaded by shersteve.

Nate came to Worcester to visit with Allison. A good enough reason for a Baslock family dinner. This time instead of gathering around a wooded camp site, we were around a table in an Irish pub atmosphere. O'Connors

The food was delicous. The service excellent. The atmosphere delightful. The whole experience, priceless.

Photo notes:

Eileen Ivers: Danish Winter Song

Lowell Folk Festival: Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul - Hearts of Wonder

From the Lowell Folk Festival 2007, Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul play this song. Tommy MacDonald does the lead vocals. As technical difficulty distorts one of the mics, the group does not skip a beat. The sound crew scambles and by the middle of the song, there are no further interruptions. Truely a professional live performance!

Time: 5 minutes, 1 second

St Patrick's Day - Boiled Dinner

Yes, one of the Irish traditions in our household is a boiled dinner on St. Patrick's Day. Corned beef brisket, potatoes, cabbage, and carrots. I add a bottle of Guinness to the pot of water to cook this in and add an onion for taste.

After dinner, Irish coffee... usually decaf with a shot of either Bushmills or Jamison Irish whiskey topped with some cream. Although to be more dietary, the cream can be left off and the coffee/whiskey mix will go down just as well.

Happy St Patrick's Day!
