On March 15, 2017 the Annual Bob Baines Blarney Breakfast was held for the 17^th consecutive year at the Center of NH at the Radisson hotel in downtown Manchester.  This Saint Patrick’s Day tradition raises money for  three local charities that make a difference in our community, Special Olympics New Hampshire, the American Red Cross and the Shirley Brulotte Fund for the International Institute of New Hampshire. Many local businesses and individuals generously support this event through sponsorship and attendance, and it is a great way to kick-off the Saint Patrick’s Day festivities!
