Ó Dochartaigh Reunion: July 1-10, 2010
Just two weeks after the closing of the 2008 Ó Dochartaigh Reunion, the Reunion Committee was already busy planning and organizing the events for the 2010 reunion. The next reunion will be held 1 - 10 July 2010, and the schedule is now available on this site.
After over 20 years of devoted service to the Ó Dochartaigh Reunion, Paddy Bogside Doherty and Rosaleen Doherty Hegarty ended their formal positions on the reunion committee. Both Paddy and Rosaleen will continue to assist in special projects as their schedules allow. James Doherty will continue in an advisory position on the committee. Elections have been held and here are the 2010 committee positions. Chairman - John V. Doherty "Saddler" of Culdonagh Manor, Malin. The Immediate Past Chairman - James Doherty of Derry. Secretary - Marie Doherty Wallace of Gleneely. Eva Doherty Gremmert will remain as the Reunion Coordinator.
The Ó Dochartaigh Reunion Committee wants to take this opportunity to publically thank James Doherty, Paddy Doherty and Rosaleen Hegarty for their long years of service on the Reunion Committee. They have labored since the inception of the organization to create memorable experiences for those who made the "long trip home". Ó Dochartaighs the world over have benefited by their leadership and experience as we have attended each of the reunion events over the past 25 years. We are grateful that James is willing to continue serving on the committee in an advisory role to our new chairman. He has said that he will serve for as long as he is able. We hope that will be a very long time.
