The ICC Welcomes New Director

The Board of Directors of the Irish Cultural Center would like to welcome Ellen Gallivan as our new Director. Ellen joined us last month, taking over the many administrative duties that the ICC requires on a daily basis.

Retiring from Cathedral High School in 2012 after 12 years as the Associate Director of Advancement, she handled donations and correspondence, ran special events and student fundraisers, and helped out with student events whenever needed.

Ellen is looking forward to getting to know the various Irish communities and expanding the membership of the Irish Cultural Center. She says, “No matter where we all come from, I’m sure we have the same fond memories of our childhood, as I have growing up on Hungry Hill. Even though I have spent many years in Easthampton, I still consider myself as from ‘The Hill’.”

Please note that hours for the ICC are generally 10 am – 2 pm Monday through Thursday, but it is recommended that you call ahead if you are planning on stopping by. We are looking forward to working with Ellen as the ICC enters this busy time of year, with our 2015 Membership Drive and Irish Christmas planning in full swing.
