Let the Parade Season Begin!

NIAA Parade Ad Journal

As you may know, the parade takes a lot of planning and requires a significant amount of finances and resources to put a successful parade on the street. This ad journal is one of our major fundraisers for the parade. We hope that you will consider taking an advertisement. Please CLICK HERE to view the contract.

The deadline for submitting ads is January 13, 2012. Ad copy can be sent to: NIAA Ads, 209 Walnut St., Nutley, NJ 07110 or e-mailed to ads@nutleyirish.com. If you have any questions about the ad journal, please contact Mike Garner at (973) 342-5045.

The Ad Journal will be distributed at our Grand Marshal Dinner on February 3rd, the Irish Mass at St. Mary's Church and the St. Patrick's Day Parade on March 3, 2012.

Taste of the Towns

The Taste of the Towns was a huge success! A big thank you to the event Chair Judy McIntyre, the Essex County Emerald Society Pipes and Drums, Ardmore Academy of Irish Dance, and all those who contributed their time and service to help make this event a success. This is NIAA’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and without the help of the members and the donations from our supporters it would not be possible. Please show our donors your thanks by patronizing their establishments and letting them know how much the NIAA appreciates them.

Catherine's Closet Prom Dress Drive

This year, the Nutley Irish will be having a Prom Dress Drive benefiting Catherine’s Closet Inc. Catherine’s Closet is a non-profit organization in Newark that collects donated gowns and dressy dresses as well as formal jewelry and handbags for both girls going to the prom and adults in need. These dresses and accessories are sold and the money raised goes towards scholarships for the students who volunteer within the organization. The Nutley Irish will be collecting dresses and accessories starting now, and will continue throughout the parade season. For more information on the organization, please visit their website:www.catherinescloset.org. If you know anyone who would like to donate a lightly worn bridesmaid or prom dress, dressy dress, or accessories that they would like someone else to enjoy, please contact dresses@nutleyirish.com or call Deidre Hollywood 973-418-2908. Local Pickup will be available.
