Our 34th year!


Something goes here so the banner will show!

Congratulations to Sheila!

Congratulations to our own Sheila Murphy Crawford who was recently elected President of the Cleveland Cultural Garden Federation.  The Cultural Gardens are a 254 acre park near University Circle with 28 unique gardens that represent various nationalities and celebrate the cultural diversity of the Cleveland area.  The Federation is committed to the preservation and development of these beautiful gardens.  Sheila has been instrumental in the recent ongoing restoration of the Irish Garden.  Thank you, Sheila, for your commitment to the Irish Garden and to all the other gardens, as well.  We are fortunate to have an Irish dance teacher who is so involved and such an important part of the rich history of the Irish community in Cleveland!

MIAA General Meeting on Thursday, June 14, 2012

Hello Everyone:

The Murphy Irish Arts Association will be having a General Meeting on Thursday, June 14, 2012 at 7:00 pm at the Center.  The purpose of the meeting will be to elect new officers and to discuss old and new business. 

Positions open for election are President (two year term), Treasurer (two year term), Recording Secretary (two year term), and three Member-at-Large positions (one year term).  We are also looking for someone to fill the one year remaining on the Vice-President position through June 2013. 

Nominations for any of these positions should be communicated to Sheila or Bob.  Current board members who's terms are expiring in June are encouraged to run for election again for the same or a different position.  (You are all doing a great job and we would love to keep you on the Board!)

All MIAA members are invited to this meeting and encouraged to participate.  The meeting is open to all members of MIAA, even if they are not running for a board position.

Maureen Gregory
President, MIAA
