On Saturday June 19, 2010, The Irish Cultural Centre will take an
historical look back at Ireland with a presentation on the Irish War
of Independence by our Board of Director and WROL host Seamus
Mulligan. The evening will begin at 5:30pm with cocktails and
appetizers followed by the presentation, an Irish buffet dinner and a
viewing of the movie "The Wind That Shakes the Barley". Set in 1920s
Ireland, this movie follows "the struggle of two brothers as they join
the dangerous fight for independence from England. Damien decides to
abandon his promising career as a doctor to fight alongside his
brother in this violent war. After a truce is signed by a fraction of
Ireland's fighters, a civil war breaks out and those once together are
now enemies. A moving drama that shows two brothers fight to reconcile
clashing ideas with family loyalties." Tickets are $25 ICC Members/$30
Non-Members Pre-registration is required. To purchase tickets, please
