Bernard A. Gilhooly Award
Each
year the Irish Heritage Day 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 March 1, 2008.
A three-person panel will judge entries. Nominee will be recognized at Irish Heritage Day. 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.
