A chara,

I am humbled and honored to serve as your Daughters of Erin President for 2024-2025. While we will not have a general membership meeting in July and August, I look forward to spending time with you volunteering at our Golf Outing, Scone Baking and Dublin Irish Festival Tea Room.

My goals for the DOE this year are to increase membership, schedule meet & greets, improve Clann na nGael relationships, and plan for our 50th Anniversary in October 2028.

The DOE Board is also excited to serve this year and anxious to hear any thoughts and/or concerns you may have to improve our organization.

Slán go foíll,

Peggy Shanahan
