From 2 - 3pm on the 3rd Saturday of the month, a slow (learning) seisiun will be held with Greg prior to the normal seisiun at 3.
Live traditional Irish music continues at the Irish American Home Society, from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m. Come join the singers and musicians at this open seisiun. Listen or play along with the lively jigs and reels…sing a song if you are so inclined… or simply relax and enjoy the music of Ireland. This is an opportunity to learn Irish music.

The AOH Hartford Division 2 meets the first Thursday of the month at IAHS.
The AOH is an Irish Catholic organization that promotes and encourages participation in our religion, charity and Irish culture, following the motto, “In Friendship, Unity and Christian Charity”. We are always looking for new Brothers and invite any IAHS member that might be interested to join us for a meeting. AOH has guest speakers at our monthly meetings on topics ranging from Irish sports, history, politics to the arts. Any IAHS member that would like to hear any of our guest speakers is welcome with advance notice.
We collect food one Sunday a month and will continue to let the membership know when the drives are and who the beneficiaries are.
AOH is very grateful to the members of the IAHS that have made our monthly food drives a success.
