The Celtic Women Spring Gathering and Annual meeting is over for another year. It was a very successful and very enjoyable and fun weekend.

As you remember, we gathered at the Comfort Suites in Lake Geneva on Friday night on April 23 and scattered around 2PM from Millie's in Delavan. In between the gathering and the scattering, we ate, visited, listened to marvelous speakers (including our own Joan Kramer with a Reflexology workshop and music.

Our mail speaker was Jose Lanters, a professor at UW Milwaukee who spoke of the tinkers or travelers in Ireland. She authored a book “The 'Tinkers' in Irish Literature.” There is a subject that has more depths than one would think.

At the annual meeting, we installed the new board and the currant officers. Because of our change of the date of the annual meeting, the officers and board voted on in December were extended to the Spring Gathering and Annual meeting of 2011. The officers and board are listed and introduced in the CWI Spring newsletter. If you do not have that information, please let me know and I will see that you receive it. We also voted to approve the revised and updated by laws.

I hope that each year more and more people will be able to attend the annual meeting. Next year we are talking about going back to Galena or perhaps St. Charles. Information will follow throughout the year.
