Original 15 Members

In February of 1981, after several months of preparation, discussion and revision, The Irish American Society of Will County, by adopting a Constitution and by-laws, came into existence.   It is important that these original founders be remembered. In 1987, by amendment to its Constitution, the Society changed its name from The Irish American Society of Will County to The Irish American Society of County Will, and the dues year was changed from June 1 to November 1, to correspond with the old Celtic New Year, Samhain.
