The IMHCT.ORG Board of Directors thanks its generous donors and supporters!

Thank you to Cornerstone Books, a community treasure in the heart of historic Salem, for sharing their own warm hearth and beautiful bookstore with IMHCT.ORG for this event.

The Kinsale Irish Pub & Restaurant, Boston, which donated the tickets for the March 8th, 2009 performance of Celtic Woman and the dinner gift certificate for $100.

A spokesman for Kinsale stated, "We're always looking for ways to keep the spirit of Irish culture alive and well in our community and our neighboring communities.

Organizations like IMHCT.ORG work to keep the traditional Irish songs and stories of yesterday from becoming "left by the wayside." As a fixture in the city of Boston, we see the value in learning from these past cultures, hear the beauty of their music..."
