Just a note to remind everybody of the
Milwaukee Irish Fest next weekend at the Festival Grounds by the
Lake. Celtic Women International will be carrying our banner again
in the parade that starts at 4PM a bit south of the Tipperary
Tearoom.
I will be there, not sure about being
in the parade as yet as my foot a bit tender yet and I am not sure
about a wheel chair. We will see. I am excited about going as I
expect that this may be the last MILWAUKEE Irish Fest I will be
attending for some time. A reminder, I am preparing my home for
sale and will be relocating to Lawton Oklahoma to live near my son,
Bart and his wife, Barbara.
I still do not have a volunteer to
handle the communication and /or the money (such as it is) for a
Sheboygan Branch.
The following is a summary of the
regularly scheduled events that the branch participates in and/or
directly hosts. In addition, many of us attend and participate in
IBAM (Irish Books Art Music) in Chicago in early October and in the
various festivals, Cornish, Scottish eg. That we become aware of.

Some
of these events are individually handled, now, by various members but
we need a coordinator and/or communicator after I leave. Call or
email me if you can help.
I
will schedule a meeting in early September to see if there are those
who will help keep us going. One hundred years ago, my Grandmother,
Matie Bowser, belonged to an Irish club. It faded away. I would
hate to see us fade away.
