About
The Emerald Isle Club The
Emerald Isle Club, Inc. was founded in 1956 by a group of Irish friends who wanted
to keep their Irish heritage alive and pass it down to future generations. Over
the past 50 years the Club has become well-known in the Maryland Irish Community
for its members' dedication and support of traditional Irish music and dance,
Irish charities, Irish ancestry and language, and for its strong monthly ceili
program. The Emerald Isle Club is a non-sectarian and 501(c)3 charitable organization.
We extend
an invitation to all people who are strongly committed to these same ideals to
join our organization and work to strengthen the awareness of Irish heritage in
the Baltimore and Maryland communities. Until we are able to get our links to
our membership and ceili pages active, please use our email to contact the Club
with questions or requests for membership at EICnewsletter@yahoo.com. Board

Letter - Fall 2011:  EIC
President
Rick Herbig
Dia
Duit, The
EIC 's ceili season for 2011-2012 officially begins at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday,
October 1 at the Parkville American Legion Hall. The Ni Riain School of Dance
will again be featured. You may remember that Ni Riain performed for EIC in May
2009. Everyone was enthused about their performance and we expect another rousing
performance. Judy Kondner has agreed to schedule the dance schools for the ceili
season. The
Memorial Mass is a signature event for the EIC. This year 's Memorial Mass will
be held at the Mission Helpers of the Sacred Heart, (See
Events for Details). Cost and convenience were the two major factors which
influenced the board ¹s decision to leave St.Mary 's Govans Church after many
years of successful events.We hope you like the new venue near Loyola High School.
If you know of some member whom you would like to honor at this year's Mass, please
contact me or any officer. It
has been the practice of GWCC to publicize our events. EIC would like to reciprocate
and publicize the GWCC weekend at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware on the weekend of October
28 th . The good times start rolling with a ceili on Friday night and dance workshops,
concert and a céilí Saturday night. The weekend concludes with a Mass and a workshop
on Sunday morning. As usual, Pádraig & Róisín McEneany will be the dance instructors.
This is an event not to be missed. We
look forward to seeing you at the ceili on October 1and we hope your summer was
pleasant. The officers and board members met during the summer. Our financial
report on the EIC, is included in our newsletter. If
you know of a friend or former member of the EIC, please give him or her an invitation
to come back to one of our events. Hope to see you on October 1. -
