Halfway to St. Patrick's Day Party 2008
Players and Fans -
The Atlanta Defenders would like to thank Butch and Mary Grace
Elmgren for inviting us to join them for the Halfway to St. Patrick's
Day Party at Fado's Irish Pub in Buckhead.
The event was formed to raise money for the Eddie Ivie Memorial
Scholarship Fund, which provides students of the Georgia Southern
University's Center for Irish Studies an opportunity to study abroad
in Ireland.
The music was great and the fellowship was even better. Butch has
invited the Defenders to join them again next year for this event.
To show his appreciation of those public safety officials who paid
the ulimate sacrifice on September 11, 2008, Butch has offered to
make a donation to our cause.
Thank you again to Butch, Mary Grace, and the Emerald Eddie
Society.

Butch can be contacted at:
