About Us
There are appoximently three hundred thousand individuals in Wisconsin that can claim to be decendants of the Emerald Isle. Forty-three million in the United States.
The Shamrock Club of Wisconsin is an organization that meets to celebrate all things Irish.

We hold an annual Christmas celebration and picnic. And, don't forget the grandest day of the year "March 17" when we raise the flag of Ireland. On the Sunday before St. Patrick's day, we help paint the town green with the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade.
The Shamrock Club is an excellant place to obtain information on a trip to Ireland or information on how to look for your Irish roots.
We are always looking for new members and welcome anyone interested in Ireland and anything Irish.
