Mayo Society of Cleveland 2024 Heritage & Whiskey Event Majestic Hall - 3000 Euclid September 14, 2024
The Mayo Society of Greater Cleveland was founded in 2004 by Gerry Quinn as a not-for-profit corporation to provide a forum for information and activities of interest to individuals of Irish descent particularly those with ancestral ties to County Mayo. The Society makes contributions to public charities in the United States that have a link to County Mayo in Ireland or to Ireland, or to public charities in Ireland, or for temporary emergency relief to indigent Irish nationals in the United States who are in urgent need of medical attention, are victims of crime, or victims of man-made or natural disasters.
They held a half-way-to-St-Patrick's-Day event at the Majestic Hall in Cleveland on Saturday September 14, 2024 titled Heritage & Whiskey. Built in 1903, Majestic Hall was the site of First United Methodist Church until it closed in 2014.
