United Services is once again offering local residents the opportunity to support critical children and family programs and enjoy a fun night of St. Paddy’s fun at their 18^th Annual Irish Night, to be held Friday, March 15 at The Mansion at Bald Hill in Woodstock.

Irish Night includes a gourmet corned beef and cabbage dinner, with fish and vegetarian options available.

Live music with Irish sing-alongs will be performed by Eastern Connecticut’s own Kala Farnham, an award-winning performing songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, and Adam Trudel, a multi-instrumentalist from Rhode Island.

Irish Night’s silent auction features many exciting items, including sports, music and movie memorabilia – this year featuring signed items from the cast of Avengers Infinity War, Italian opera singer Luciano Pavarotti and music legend Neil Diamond– and a 6 day African Safari for two! Packages of local gift certificates, tickets and passes will also be included.

All proceeds will benefit United Services Children and Family Programs: These include:

• One of the busiest Child Guidance Clinics in the state, providing trauma-informed and trauma-focused mental health services for children and adolescents.
• Family Programs, including parent education and support groups such as Grandparents Raising Grandchildren
• The region’s only Domestic Violence Program, providing 24/7/365 emergency crisis, shelter and supportive services to women and children.
• Wraparound clinical care and support services for Autism Spectrum Disorders at the Center for Autism.
