• Nutley Irish President Message
On behalf of the Officers and Trustees of the Nutley Irish, I would like to wish all of our members and their families a Happy Thanksgiving.
This year, I am thankful to be able to serve my 12th term as President of the Nutley Irish. I am thankful for all of our members, sponsors, friends, and family that make this a remarkable organization. This organization is unlike any organization in town. You, our members are the cream of the crop. Without you, this club would not be where it is today.
I am thankful for the Township of Nutley and our Commissioners who help reinforce the mission of our organization and give us their assistance.
I am thankful for our community for always attending our events and marching in or watching our St. Patrick's Day Parade.
And lastly, I am thankful for my family and friends for their love and support.
Let us all always be thankful for what we have, as we are blessed to have it.
Sincerely,
Thomas J McEnery
President
