Bernard A. Gilhooly Award

Each year the Cultural Committee presents the Bernard A. Gilhooly Award to someone who emulates the undying persistence of the Irish people by “passing on” Irish culture in the Quad Cities and its outlying areas. 

 

Nomination letters of 150 words or less are being requested by August 15,  2009. A three-person panel will judge entries. Nominee will be recognized at the Erin Feis to be held in September. Please mail letters to St. Patrick Society, PO Box 4487 Davenport, IA 52808.

Winners receive a bronze statuette of Annie Moore, first immigrant registered through Ellis Island, and a certificate of recognition.
