The American Ireland Fund Texas Regional Advisory Board gathered at the Tucker Residence for a Cinco de Mayo party for all attending the Bono lecture on Africa. Page Tucker is on the Texas Regional Advisory Board and a huge Bono (from the Irish rock band U2) fan.

After many margaritas we all left for the Texas State Music Hall to be among the 4,000 people gathered there to hear Bono.

Page Tucker, Carolyn Farb and Mike Corboy were among the chosen few to actually meet the Great Man. They brought greetings to him from Kingsley Aikins, President and CEO, The Worldwide Ireland Funds; Loretta Brennan Glucksman, Chairman, The American Ireland Fund and Caitriona Fottrell, Director Ireland, The Ireland Funds and from his good friend Mick Bailey the Dublin developer who was in Dallas the week before for the Ross Perot McKillop Irish Spirit Award.

The American Ireland Fund Texas were one of the sponsors, thanks to the generosity of Mike Corboy, Luanne Tierney and Don Hanratty . We got top billing along with ExxonMobil and Bono was delighted with The American Ireland Fund participation. We all came away with a great feeling of pride in this Irishman who is recognized worldwide for his compassion and caring and with a new realization that we in the United States should have a focus on Africa.
