Susan Lucas provided the 40 guests with her usual Irish soda bread, and George Sica cooked up a batch of corned beef and cabbage in his special beer mixture. Chris Miras also sent over her own version of Irish soda bread.

“A number of lions came to clean up afterward,” said Janice Hellwinkel, former club president and originator of the St. Patrick's Day bash.

The North Salem Lions Club will hold an Easter Egg Hunt at the Westchester Exceptional Children’s School in Purdys on Friday, March 22, at 1 p.m. Lions will also go from classroom to classroom, distributing candy.
