PAT CARROLL AT MURPHY'S PUB ALEXANDRIA - SAT 10/8
FUNDRAISER FOR THE WARRIOR RETREAT
|
from Alexandria division...
|
The Alexandria Ancient Order of Hibernians is sponsoring a fundraiser for the Warrior Retreat in Haymarket, VA (willingwarriors.org) on Saturday, October 8, 2022 4p-8p at Murphy's Pub. We have tried to hold this event the past two years but it was cancelled due to COVID protocols and Seamus Kennedy having to cancel last year due to illness. Hopefully, the third time will be a charm!
|
Pat Carroll has agreed to perform for us this year and many of you know him from his appearances at Murphy's Pub. Please consider joining us this year to assist a very worthwhile charity that supports our veterans who have suffered injuries defending our freedoms. I thank you in advance for your support and hope to see you on October 8th for a wonderful evening of song and Irish "craic"!
