Who We Are....
Officially established in 2008, our organization was created with the vision of celebrating and sharing the history and culture of Ireland, from its ancient past to its contemporary present. Most, but not all, of our members have some Irish roots. We welcome all people, as there are few corners of the world the Irish have not in some way touched. Our organization has no religious nor political bias. We do endeavor to contribute to our community through designated charitable organizations.
Most of all, we are friends who care about each other and we have managed to have a lot of fun together since March 2008.
One World Festival
LIACS was one of the organizing communities in attendance at the inaugural One World Festival at F&M College’s Alumni Sports and Fitness Center in 2022, and have supported them in 2023 & 2024.
Our own Tom Daniels wrote the lyrics for the One World song, that was premiered at the festival, and our own Gabrielle Hackman was the Chair and driving force behind the festival’s recipe book, available for purchase at the festival.
