Irish Club to Celebrate St Patrick’s Day with a Celebration Dinner on Thursday 14th March 2024

 

 

Lá Fhéile Pádraig

The Irish Club of Luxembourg (ICL) is delighted to host a charity Celebration Dinner for St. Patrick’s Day on Thursday 14th March 2024.

This will be an evening of entertainment, starting with a drinks reception followed by a three course dinner and live music and dancing from ‘Alizeti’.

In addition to an evening of celebrating the best of Ireland in Luxembourg, we are also raising funds for the charity “Ilula Orphan Program (IOP),” a beacon of hope, compassion, and empowerment for the most vulnerable. Registered in 1998 in Tanzania, the organisation is committed to creating a brighter future for the people of Ilula and its neighbouring areas. IOP’s objective is to give opportunities for excellent education, counselling, and socio-economic development to under-represented populations, to remove discrimination and create sustainable communities (www.ioptanzania.org).

There will be a tombola on the night thanks to some prizes provided by our generous sponsors.

This year we have secured a new venue and would like you to join us at the Melia Hotel, 1, Park Dräi Eechelen, L-1499 Luxembourg (Map)
