Hi All Celtic Women

The year is rapidly winding down. We have had some good times this year and will aim for many more 2015.

This past Saturday, November 15, a group of seven Celtic women, met at my home to discuss the book 1916 by Morgan Llewellyn. LuAnn Cleary Benninghaus, Debbie O'Grady, Kathy Paul, Kathy Flath, Barbara Fishbaugher, Rosemary Mugan and myself.

We had a lively discussion on the book and the series that Morgan has written in which she follows the characters from the time of the rising – 1916 a Novel of the Irish Rebellions through key years. The most recent is1999 The Irish Century. We then started sharing the names and genre of other Celtic authors that we have read and wanted to share. So – Until the next book discussion, READ. We would like everybody to bring their favorite, or at least one of their favorites, to share and to tell us about the author. Fiction or non fiction – all is fair game. Doesn't that sound like fun! We will have the date after the first of the year.

December 6th, weather permitting, we will be co-hosting the 9th Annual Celtic Christmas Tea. Here is the notice as it appeared in the SCHRC newsletter.


9th Annual Celtic
Christmas Tea
Nollaig shona. Merry Christmas– a bit early
but it’s time to mark your calendars.

This is a collaborative Irish/Christmas program sponsored by the Sheboygan County Historical Research Center, the Sheboygan County Chapter of Celtic Women International and the Plymouth Historical Society.

We discussed January at the book discussion. I mentioned that I am out of pasties and would be glad to host a Pasty making day sometime in mid to late January. We could also discuss St. Brigid Day and ways to honor her. Let me know if you would be interested in that. We could have it here again, as I have the two ovens.
