Irish American Alliance

We currently have approximately two hundred active members, primarily from the Chicago area, particularly the Southside and South Suburbs. The Charitable Corporation has engaged in a number of Charitable activities through the years, and is holding a fund for the establishment of an Irish American Retirement Home. The retirement home project has progressed “of and on” through the years and is pres

ently a “long term goal”. We hold monthly meetings for officers and trustees, and quarterly meetings for members. Membership also includes our quarterly newsletter. The club also sponsors activities and events which interest our members. The events which we always have are:

- A Saint Patrick’s Day Party and a float in the Chicago “Southside Irish” Saint Patrick’s Day Parade.
- A Bi- Annual Luncheon and Convention to elect offices.
- An Annual Picnic
- The Annual “Halfway to St. Patty’s Day” Baseball Game at US Cellular Field
- The Annual Golf Outing
- An Annual Trip to Hawthorne Park for a “Day at the Races”. The Club has also sponsored dozens of other activities through the years including an
Annual dinner dance, trips to Irish theme plays and shows, lectures on items of interest to members, trips to the city of Milwaukee Irish Fest, sponsoring band concerts and other activities. We are always pleased to have new members join us. We are always interested in new ideas for events and activities, and will consider sponsoring activities presented to us.
