William J. Neill
We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to William J. Neill for his many years as Chair of The Ireland Fund of Canada. Under his leadership the Fund underwent a transformation of its volunteer structure, its reach to both individuals and corporate Canada, and the landmark 25 th Anniversary year celebrations and fund raising targets since its founding in 1978. The Fund successfully completed several $100,000 fund raising targets including the Celtic Studies Programme at the University of St. Michael’s College, University of Toronto and Special Olympics Canada for the 2003 Dublin Games.

We are pleased that Mr. Neill will continue on the Board as Past Chair and Chair, Nominations Committee seeking new Board members and supporting Chapter Development. Again, many thanks to you Bill for all that you have done for the Fund!

Joseph Murphy and Colm O’Carroll
We wish to acknowledge the wonderful contribution made by the following two men who retired from the National Board of Directors in 2004/2005: Joseph Murphy and Colm O’Carroll. Both of these gentlemen retired from active work as Directors but kindly remain dedicated volunteers.

The Ireland Fund of Canada grew exponentially because of their work and vision – Joseph Murphy for his contribution to the Annual Toronto St. Patrick’s Day Luncheon and the John Dunne Golf Classic

Colm O’Carroll as a Founding Director of the Edmonton Chapter and Past Chair of the Grants Committee.

Many thanks to both of these tremendous volunteers and we look forward to your continued support and guidance.
