The White House, Kinsale, Co Cork : Friday, 17 June 2005
The White House in Kinsale, Co Cork was the setting for
this year’s Texas Dinner. All Texans at The
Ireland Funds Conference were in attendance along with
adopted Texans Jean and Roger Downer, Liza and Aidan O’Connor,
Father Simon and Brother Mark Patrick from Glenstal Abbey,
Breda Clifford from Tralee, Co Kerry, and WineGeese
Honorary Chair Ted Murphy and his lovely wife Garry
A wonderful evening of good fellowship, pleasant conversation
with great food and wine was had by all. The presence
of special guests Jean and Pearse Kelly and the Rev. Bill
Shaw from Northern Ireland reminded us that in the midst
of conviviality we must always be prompted to help the
less fortunate and that along with the fun in Funds is
also fundraising.
