30 years - a big thank you

The staff and board of Exchange House, would like to thank all those who celebrated our 30 year anniversary with us from the 20th to the 22nd of October 2010! Our Looking Back: Moving Forward event as well as our National Educational Achievement Award ceremony were a fabulous success! Exchange House's headquarters at 61 Great Strand Street proved to be the perfect venue for our celebration.

Approximately 250 people attended our Looking back: Moving Forward event on Wednesday and many came from as far as Tipperary, Waterford, Belfast, Cork, and Donegal! Past and present staff, interns, volunteers, participants, and friends came to celebrate Exchange House's 30 years of accomplishments!

On Thursday we had over 150 people attend the free taster training seminars and stopped by for our Open House. Our National Educational Achievement Award on Friday was a beautiful success filled with great excitement and youthfulness, with over 100 recipients of the Award. The Award ceremony was generously co-sponsored by Dublin City Council and hosted in the Wood Quay Venue.

View some of the video highlights of the three days (It's only 3 minutes long.)

We want to give a special thanks to all who have contributed their time and money to make our work possible. Thank you to them and their continuous support and commitment to the advancement of Travellers in Ireland!
