October update
Sunday, October 25th, 14 members of the Sheboygan Branch of CWI and
their friends and significant others, met at the First
Congregational UCC for our 5th (at least) annual Samhain Dinner.
Again, we entered into the dark season enjoying the many fruits of
the harvest. Soups to take your breath away, potato dishes,
chicken and desserts to die for.
For those of you who don't know how important this feast is, here is a summary: Samhain is the end of the harvest season, the beginning of the dark season. The Night (our Halloween) was the time that the veil between here and the other world was the thinnest and ghouls and goblins roamed the world. The dark season is actually a season to regroup, much as sleep is a time to replenish the soul. This is the time of year to repair, to renew, to begin again. The trouble with our world is that there is no time for just being.
So it was a wonderful evening. I thank all who came, for your company. Please don't let this feast die if I am gone. I will start another Samhain in Oklahoma. OK!.
Mark your calendar for Saturday, November 14th at 1:00 PM. We are meeting at the First Congregational UCC at 1405 South Milwaukee (Hwy 67) in Plymouth. This CWI bi-annual Literary Exchange includes tea, members may bring a treat to pass, we learn about author Leon Uris and discuss his book: "Trinity".

Finally: Our last event for 2015 will be our annual Collaborative Irish Christmas Tea, celebrated at the Plymouth Historical Society. 420 E. Mill St., Plymouth WI, along with the Sheboygan County Historical Research Center, Sheboygan Falls, (thank you Beth Dippel) will be held on December 5th, Saturday, from 1PM to 3PM.
Enjoy musical entertainment, Christmas Treats, traditional Irish Brown Bread, tea and coffee in addition to good conversation. Bring your special holiday treats to share with all the guest that come to share this time with us.
Begin your Christmas season with joyful sounds of this program.
