On March 15th, two dozen alumni and friends gathered to celebrate an early “Happy State Patrick’s Day!” at The Hub in Costa Mesa, California.

Laughter and merriment ensued as Irish jokes were shared. “What do you call a fake Irish stone? A sham rock!” and “What’s green and stays out all night?” Paddy O’Furniture!

Memories of this Happy Valley “holiday” included gatherings at The Phyrst and The Rathskellar (bittersweet as it closed its doors earlier this year!)

We all took delight in donating shoes and clothing to benefit our local homeless population, the Orange County Rescue Mission in Tustin, CA.
