Image Once again, Dublin AM Rotarians were crucial to the success of Dublin's signature Irish Festival. How crucial were we?, Well, we volunteered to get the adult beverages to their vendors, and no Irish Festival would be authentic with this essential ingredient. Neither rain nor heat nor throngs of people prevented Rotarians from completing their assigned rounds. 40 Rotarians filled 80 shifts. Next year, we hope to have wider club participation. This was the smoothest year yet, for careful work with the festival organizers has streamlined our role and made our task easier. Without us, sales would cease and the festival would grind to halt. The vendors we aided were supremely complimentary about our prompt and friendly courtesy. A big thanks to all Rotarians who helped us earn some of the festival green to continue our work in the community, and a special big thanks to organizers Dwight Seeley, John Duff, Cindy Groeniger, or Andy Keeler, who all but lived at the festival for three days..
