Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Buy a ticket to a public event on the calendar, such as the Toast to Saint Patrick or the awards dinner, which were open to the public. To ask about attending as a non-member, or to join, email info@theirishsociety.com..

Check with the group before you show up.

What to expect

Events are mostly dinners, speaker meetings and happy hours, many held at the Ashburner Inn. Public dinners such as the Toast to Saint Patrick and the awards dinner need a ticket, while Christmas parties are for members and one guest. The pages do not say how long events run, so ask before you go.

Tips for your first visit

  • Check the calendar for public events, since the Christmas party is limited to members and a guest.
  • Email the group before the event to ask whether a non-member can attend.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Several events are open to the public with a ticket, and membership has a clear application. The site does not say whether non-members can attend general meetings, and new members need a sponsor from a current member..

Cost
Paid. Membership is a $100 lifetime fee, paid with the application. Public dinners and happy hours have tickets or a donation at the door, and prices change from year to year. Christmas parties are for members and a guest.
