This year it was the turn of the Irish American Heritage Center to host the annual seniors' Christmas party. We enjoyed a turkey dinner followed by some live traditional Irish music. This year's party was one of the most successful to date with over 80 seniors in attendance. A great time was had by all who came along to the festive celebrations and some of the fun can be seen in the pictures below.
One of CIIS's largest annual fund raisers is our golf outing and like previous years the 2010 event was a great success. The occassional showers did little to dampen our moods and served only to make the day more interesting and certainly more challenging for our near one hundred golfers. The beautiful St. Andrew's Golf course (http://standrewsgc.com) in West Chicago proved to be a suitably tranquil backdrop to our fundraising efforts and many thanks to them for all their assistance. Thanks also to the golfers who turned out in force to support CIIS and the work that we do on behalf of the Irish community. We hope to see you all on the links again next year!
