Christmas Drive for Families of Irish

Sunday Nov. 20, 2005
The Chicago unit of the Irish Freedom Committee held our annual
Christmas Drive for families of Irish Republican POWs on Sunday November
20, 2005 at Chicago's famed Abbey Pub. >>flier
The annual event had a great turnout, and community support was
high. Musical guests were the fabulous Fitzgerald Brothers, Steve and Tom
Fitzgerald, who entertained the crowd with their spirited renditions of
Republican ballads and traditional music. A well-deserved special
award presentation to both Tom and Steve Fitzgerald was made giving each
the IRISH FREEDOM AWARD for their invaluable contributions to the
republican movement and to the families of Irish Republican Political Prisoners.
Young and old signed
Christmas cards and participated in a raffle of POW craftwork to benefit
the families of Irish political prisoners. All in all it was an
enjoyable and successful afternoon - See you at our next event!!
