PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE:
From Plum Puddings to President. One does have to wonder! The places one finds oneself in! There I was one year ago at the 2006 AGM for the Irish Cultural Society of Toronto; minding my own business; industriously selling Plum Puddings as part of our winter fundraiser for St. Paul's Toronto School of Irish Music. Someone put my name forward to be nominated for the committee. The rest is history. One year later you have seen fit to elect me as President of the Society.
Now, a dear friend of mine from the Cork Association holds,that there is documented evidence of Cork people the world over and their uncanny ability to find themselves "in charge". They can be at the back of the room minding their own business..:True" selling plum puddings; Before they know it they find themselves at the front of the room... "True"...nominated and on the committee for 2 years. And before they know it they are "running the show"! "True" One year later President. They do not deliberately seek it out. However they also it seems according to the same source have a reputation for hard work , dedication and perseverance. Having said all of that I have had nothing but help, encouragement. What a fine bunch of people are on board the Committee and supporting the committee.
Events in the planning for this year.
