The Irish Cultural Society will present awards to thirty five students from high schools in Nassau County  at the Irish Cultural Society meeting on Wednesday, May 1 at 7:30 p.m. in the Garden City Library, 60 Seventh Street, across the street from the Garden City Hotel.  The meeting is free and open to the public.

The students won awards for their essays entered into the Society’s writing contest. The writing project was centered on the iconic picture of eleven iron workers eating lunch while sitting precariously on a beam of the unfinished RCA Building at Rockefeller Center. The writers had to create a narrator out of one of the men and have him introduce the other ten men to the reader. Five hundred and twenty one entries competed for the Society’s prizes.

At the meeting, portions of winning entries will be read aloud. President Martin Kelly will acknowledge the H.W. Wilson Foundation for its sponsorship of the contest, and he will commend the teachers of the winners for their teaching skills.
