Martin McDonough, President of the Norwood Irish Music Club, Inc., has received the following letter from Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy:
“I have been informed of the very generous contribution to the John F. Kennedy Library which was received on behalf of the Norwood Irish Music Club, and I wish to convey my deepest thanks to each and every one of the members of the Club for their thoughtfulness and generosity.
“The President had often expressed his strong hope that a Library might be built —one day— and he planned to devote much of his future time to such an effort. Since time denied him this, we must now do it for him—and I can assure you it will be the finest President’s Library ever.
“ The President’s family and I shall always be grateful to the members of the Norwood Irish Music Club for choosing to support the cause closest to our hearts.”
The local club meets every second and fourth Saturday at Runeberg Hall.
