Missing Irishman

Click to Enlarge
Charlie Donnelly is a 28 year old plasterer from Fermanagh. His family have not heard from him since January 2005 - he was believed to have arrived in San Francisco around then along with his cousin, Eoghan Charlton. His mother and sister made a special trip out to San Francisco to try to find him and are now understandably very concerned about his welfare and are pleading for any information about his whereabouts.

Can you please pass this photo along to all your contacts and connections - and if you happen to have any information please let Charlie's sister, Rina Donnelly know. Her contact information is donnellydennehy@comcast.net and her phone number in Boston is (617) 803-5404.

 Launch of SF GAA Social Club

An informal social club has been launched that enables GAA members in the Bay Area to easily inform each other about any parties, trips, or other social events that they may be planning and to which they want to invite people in all of the clubs. It is hoped that this useful resource will help everyone to get together and have a great time while skiing, camping, rafting, drinking, or just getting to know each other better in general.

To access the club and join up, go here.
