Update 9/1

This will be the newsletter for August for the Sheboygan Branch of Celtic Women.

Our last meeting, of course, was When Irish Eyes Were Smiling at the Sheboygan County History Museum. Irish Fest was our Irish gathering for August.

Our next meeting will be Friday, September 17th. Flora "Tommi" O Hagan, a member who lives in Fond du Lac and who is the president of the Cornish American Heritage Society is going to be talking to us about our Cornish sisters and the Cornish Culture. We will be meeting at United Church of Christ, 1405 State Hwy 67, Plymouth WI 53073 at 6:30PM. Please come and enjoy the talk and the samples of Cornish Pasties and Figgy Hobbin.

Then, on October 17, we will celebrate our second Samhain celebration. This is related to Halloween and celebrates the unity between the dead and those who are still here. We will do a pot luck, as we did last year. We ask that harvest food be prepared to share. We also would like each participant to bring a placemat for those they love who have gone into the next world. If you don't, you won't get away with it because we will have supplies to help you do one on the spot. It was such fun last year. This is an event to which we ask that you bring your significant other. A good chance for families to meet.

So that is "what is happening" with us.

Join us if you can.
