Hey there!   Hope you are all coming to 52 Stafford next Wednesday, February 2 at 6PM for dinner and a meeting.     It will be my pleasure to be able to tell everybody the history of St. David, feast day March 1 and St. Piran, feast day March 5.   We haven't been together for quite a while.   This should be really fun as it will be capped off by hoisting a few pints and enjoying the Craic after we eat.   Can you let me know so I can reserve a table?   But if you don't reserve come anyway.

The next event after next Wednesday will be on Sunday, March 17th.   The Irish Holy Day.   St. Patrick's Day.  We will meet as always between 9:30AM and 10:00AM at the Exchange Bank which is right across the street from 52 Stafford for a cuppa coffee or tea, your choice.   We will then carpool or walk up to Eastern Avenue and Highland Avenue to join the Irishman's Walk sponsored by 52 Stafford.   We will be marching with our banner to let the world, at least Plymouth, know who we are and that we are proud.   After the parade, we can go into the  Stafford for our shot of Irish Whiskey and all have lunch there or wherever we want.     Lets have a really good turnout.   I have been walking for at least 15 years now.   No matter what the weather.  And one never knows.

If you have not marked your calendars yet, please get the Annual Gathering, which is the Annual Meeting of our parent group, Celtic Women International on it.     This year the meeting is April 26-28 at St. Charles, Ill.  at the Hotel Baker.   The first 30 registrants will receive free tickets to a performance of The Seafarer by Connor Mc Pherson on Saturday evening.  It is looking to be an exciting weekend.   I will figure out how to get everybody the flyers in case you don't have them.   The cost of the gathering is $50 for CWI members and $60 for non members.  

P. S.  if you have not paid your dues for 2013, this is a reminder.   I have applications or you can find them online.

So we have so much fun as a group happening between now and the end of April.    Let's Get Together.  Yea Yea Yea.
