Members are enthusiastic about beginning this prestigious fortieth year at the United Irish Cultural Center. Many wonderful occasions are being planned and will culminate in an Anniversary Ball on April 18, 2015. Mark your calendars now! I would be remiss not to mention again the incredible work that was done by our wonderful Center volunteers who serve on the Building Committee. Two hundred hours of volunteer work were 2014-2015 OFFICERS completed by Martin Falvey, John Manning, Martin Howard, Brian Farrell, Dan McAuliffe, and Mike BOARD OF DIRECTORS Bowler. All these men worked to the top of their professional abilities on the ladies’ restroom, repaired new counters and closures, and installed almost 500 feet of stained, varnished baseboards. Three coats of Judith Kell paint were applied to the UICC’s handrails and gates. The Board room looks particularly beautiful with its President new coat of paint. Our UICC library was also spruced up by these dedicated volunteers with new shelves and baseboards. Heartfelt thanks to the wonderful Building Committee volunteers. Caitie O’Shea Your President was an honored guest at the 149th Annual Scottish Games in Pleasanton on Vice President Labor Day Weekend. I was able to see our United Irish Center Irish Pipers perform spectacularly in the annual competition there. The Irish flag flew proudly! Additionally, Board members have been meeting John Tucker with others from various Irish groups in the Bay Area. We entertained the President of the Board of the Secretary Irish Network and are moving forward with some preliminary thoughts for a holiday event at our Center. Special thanks to Caitie O’Shea, Bill Luque and Teresa Moore for helping by meeting at the Center with Michael Bowler Nicholas Ginger, Irish Network Board President. Treasurer September also was special because of the trip that was taken by members and friends (special thanks to Bill Luque for the great amount of planning that went into the trip) to Yosemite. The trip was Megan Cummins sold out with a waiting list! I intend to sign up early for the next trip. It is wonderful to get away together. Michael Leboeuf In closing, I have just finished an incredible book entitled , “How the Irish Saved Civilization”. Bill Luqué The author’s point is very well taken and I will be mentioning some of the book’s contents at our future meetings. For now, it is this Irish Center with its dedicated volunteers, its focused mission of “becoming the center of all things Irish in the Bay Area” and with forty years of dedication behind it, that is certainly saving and promoting Irish culture in the Bay Area. Our strength is in our memories, our daily activities and in our important work for the future of our children and grandchildren. May they know their heritage and proudly carry it forward! In Caring Unity, Judith Kell, President UICC Board of Directors Purpose ~ Respect ~ Organization ~ Unity ~ Determination THIS MONTH’S GENERAL MEETING IS THURSDAY OCTOBER 23 THURSDAY NIGHT DINNER CLUB The next Thursday Night Dinner will be October 16.

Thank you Bill Luqué for organizing the Silver Gaels’s trip to Yosemite. Even with the drought, Yosemite and the Awahnee Lodge are beautiful places to see and enjoy. Our stay at Chukchansi Gold Resort was nice and relaxing and for some profitable! After having auditioned in February, Miss Colleen Rawson, of Petaluma, California, in Sonoma County, was accepted to the summer intensive program at Ballet San Jose. She was recognized with a merit scholarship and began her four week adventure in down- town San Jose with classes all day, Monday through Friday, in July. Mrs. Marie Rawson and her son, Mr. Marty Rawson of Sunnyvale, were gracious enough to host Colleen, her mother and younger sister during the month so they had a comfortable place to be with family. They would stay in Sunnyvale during the week and then travel back north to Petaluma on the weekends so Colleen and Margaret (“Meg”) could share the week’s adventures with their dad on the weekends. The summer intensive at Ballet San Jose School offered instruction to 120 students who were selected from over five different city locations that held auditions on their behalf through- out the state. At the end of the four-week run, all of the students performed in a showcase that offered a variety of both classical and modern ballet. Colleen is now back in Petaluma at her home studio, the O’Brien Center of the Arts, preparing with her fellow dance students for their winter show in November, called “The Holiday Gift” in which she will perform as a Snow Princess.

  • The Origins and Expansion of the O'shea Clan
    The Origins and Expansion of the O’Shea Clan At the beginning of the second millennium in the High Kingship of Brian Boru, there were three distinct races or petty kingdoms in what is now the County of Kerry. In the north along the Shannon estuary lived the most ancient of these known as the Ciarraige, reputed to be descendants of the Picts, who may have preceded the first Celts to settle in Ireland. On either side of Dingle Bay and inland eastwards lived the Corcu Duibne1 descended from possibly the first wave of Celtic immigration called the Fir Bolg and also referred to as Iverni or Erainn. The common explanation of Fir Bolg is ‘Bag Men’ so called as they allegedly exported Irish earth in bags to spread around Greek cities as protection against snakes! However as bolg in Irish means stomach, generations of Irish school children referred to them gleefully as ‘Fat bellies’ or worse. Legend has it that these Fir Bolg, as we will see possibly the ancestors of the O’Shea clan, landed in Cork. Reputedly small, dark and boorish they settled in Cork and Kerry and were the authors of the great Red Branch group of sagas and the builders of great stone fortresses around the seacoasts of Kerry. Finally around Killarney and south of it lived the Eoganacht Locha Lein, descendants of a later Celtic visitation called Goidels or Gaels. Present Kerry boundary (3) (2) (1) The territories of the people of the Corcu Duibne with subsequent sept strongholds; (1) O’Sheas (2) O’Falveys (3) O’Connells The Corcu Duibne were recognised as a distinct race by the fifth or sixth century AD.

  • From Munster to La Coruña Across the Celtic Sea: Emigration, Assimilation, and Acculturation in the Kingdom of Galicia (1601-40)
    Obradoiro de Historia Moderna, N.º 19, 9-38, 2010, ISSN: 1133-0481 FROM MUNSTER TO LA CORUÑA ACROSS THE CELTIC SEA: EMIGRATION, ASSIMILATION, AND AccULTURATION IN THE KINGDOM OF GALICIA (1601-40) Ciaran O’Scea University College Dublin RESUMEN . Entre 1602 y 1608 cerca de 10.000 individuos de todos los estratos de la sociedad gaélica irlandesa predominante en el suroeste de Irlanda emigraron al noroeste de España como consecuenciade la fallida intervención militar española en Kinsale en 1601-02, lo que condujo a la consolidación de la comunidad irlandesa en La Coruña (Galicia). Esto ha permitido un análisis de la asimilación e integración de la comunidad en las estructuras civiles, eclesiásticas y reales de Galicia y de la monarquía hispánica. Los resultados muestran como la inicial introspección de la comunidad irlandesa durante la primera década dio paso a una rápida asimilación e integración en la siguiente. Al mismo tiempo, las alteradas circunstancias socio-económicas y políticas condujeron a cambios de gran alcance en las estructuras internas y los valores socio-culturales de la comunidad. Palabras clave: emigración irlandesa, España, Irlanda, Galicia, La Coruña, asimilación, integración, Kinsale. ABSTR A CT . Between 1602 and 1608 c. 10.000 individuals from all strata of predominantly Gaelic Irish society in the south west of Ireland emigrated to the north west of Spain in the aftermath of the failed Spanish military intervention at Kinsale in 1601-02, leading to the consolidation of the fledling Irish community in La Coruña in Galicia. This has permitted an analysis of the community´s assimilation and integration to the civil, ecclesiastical and royal structures of Galicia and the Spanish monarchy.

  • Kingdom of Mumha, Or Munster. the Kingdom of Munster
    Kingdom of Mumha, Or Munster. The Kingdom of Munster ; in Irish, Mumha, Mumhan, and Mumhain, is said to derive its name from Eocaidh Mumho, [1] who was king of Munster and monarch of Ireland, of the race of Eber, about eight centuries before the Christian era. Ancient Munster comprised the pre- sent counties of Tipperary, Waterford, Cork, Kerry, Limerick, and part of Kilkenny, to which was added the territory now forming the county of Clare, by Lugaidh Menn, king of Munster, of the race of the Dalcassians, in the latter end of the third century. Ancient Munster con- tained the following sub-divisions, namely, Tuath Mumhan, or North Munster, anglicised Thomond ; Des Mumhan, or South Munster, rendered Desmond ; Urmhumha or Oirmhumha, East Munster, and anglicised Ormond, and Iar Mumian, or West Munster. The Eberians, or the Milesians of the race of Eber, possessed Munster ; but the descendants of Ith, son of Breògan, and uncle of Milesius, also possessed in early times a great part of it. The race of Eber furnished most of its kings, many of whom were monarchs of Ireland. These Eberians are called by the old annalists Dergthini, from one of their kings. The race of Ith also furnished many kings of Munster, and some monarchs to Ireland, in the earlier ages. They were called Darini, from one of their kings. The Dergthini and Darini had frequent contests, before the period of the Christian era, for the sovereignty of Munster, which they they at length agreed to hold alternately. While the head of one race reigned as King, the other held the office of chief Brehon or judge.
