Welcome to the Tucson Irish Community
Welcome to the Tucson Irish Community, devoted to continuing our Irish traditions in a spirit of cooperation and good will. On St. Patrick’s Day 2007 we brought out our new web site interface. We are still tweaking a few things, but our profiles and the Trim the Velvet minisite are back (get there from the links at the top of the page—we’ll be adding something more prominent on the home page soon). We will continue to keep you current on news and events related to the local Irish and Scottish community. We are including a series of profiles of members of our local Irish community. Let us know whose profile you would like to read and if that be you, give us your fascinating information! We also have a new section for reviews. And our new guestbook is now active. Please write the webmasters with what content you would like to see. Not everything is functional yet, so please be patient.
See the 2008 St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival pictures here. Parade entries were photographed in order, but note that a number of entries were also photographed at the end of the parade, so if you are looking for an entry, look at the later pictures as well. Pictures may be downloaded free for non-commercial use (tip: be sure to download the picture, not the thumbnail). If you post a picture on your personal or group web site, the photo credit is: copyright 2008, Aine Ni Haralambie, www.tucsonirishcommunity.com. We have now added key words to enable you to search pictures (use fewer words—the search looks only for an exact match). [When our server crashed, we lost the 2006 and 2007 albums; I have uploaded the 2007 pictures, but I will not be able to title or key word them. The 2006 pictures may be on a different computer, but they aren’t online now.] All photos were taken with high resolution, but posted with lower resolution. Let us know if you want a high resolution digital copy of a picture.
