The Wild Geese Celtic New Year's Ball,

The Wild Geese Celtic New Year's Ball is our major fundraiser event of the year. This event not only raises the bulk of our grant funds, but also serves as a forum to recognize and honor the utstanding achievements of Irish and Irish Americans. Some of our previous honoree's have been, The President of Ireland, Mary McAleese, film director Jim Sheridan, novelist Frank McCourt, playwright Brian Friel, Paddy Maloney of The Chieftans, actors Gabriel Byrne and Milo O'Shea, poet Seamus Heaney pianist John O'Connor.
The Wild Geese have supported Project Children, The Irish Way program, The Famine Museum in Strokestown, The Irish Repertory Theater in New York, the composition of the "Famine Symphony", and provided provided scholarship grants and finance to many other worthwhile activities.
We are having a Medieval theme for our ball this year, with moats, turrets, and knights. A harpist will be playing as you walk through the reception and you will be welcomed by a waitress serving hot mead. Both will be wearing costumes. We have a eight piece band, "New York Orchestras Entertainment" and Donny Golden and his dancers as well as the Greenwich Fife & Drum band.
We have many distinguished guests coming including The Honorable Govenor Jodi Rell, Counsel General Eugene Hutchinson, The Honorable Bill Nickerson, The Honorable Christopher Shays, The Honorable Richard Blumenthal, etc.
Shortly you will be receiving more detail information about this year's celebration which promises to be an unforgetable evening full of outstanding entertainment and enchantment.
