The Editors Message
April is a time of post St. Patrick’s Day recuperation but not for long what with the Feis coming up on May 18th. For some it is a one day event but for others there is at least a week’s worth of work in preparation and another few days of work afterwards. As with all things it goes easier if there is a lot of help and the sense of comradeship is irreplaceable. In the meantime if you would like to hear some talented kids keeping the musical tradition alive then you got to go to the Fleadh at the Pearl River Middle School next Sunday, 4/13. See below for more details. I am in my third year volunteering there and I always make it a point of watching the group and ceili band competitions.

Emerald Scholarship
Enclosed is the annual scholarship application. Read the guidelines carefully. The application must be turned in by the beginning of the meeting on April 11th. Since John Callaghan, 845-628-2479, has been administering this scholarship for so long, I think it should be called the John Callaghan Memorial Scholarship. I know it’s a little premature but why wait. In Putnam County we name buildings after people who are still alive so let’s be consistent.
John Mulvihill Tours presents the Saratoga Races
The Saratoga Race trip will take place on Friday, August 22. The price has not been finalized yet. Because of the escalating fuel costs chartering the Leprechaun Tours bus will be significantly higher this year. The price will also include admissions, box seats and buffet at Lillian's Restaurant after the race. The bus will leave from the Yorktown Triangle Shopping Center and from Bernie's Deli in the Brewster Towne Center. Contact info and more details will be published in a flyer that will be included in this or some future newsletter.
