TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED

THANK YOU

WATER AID CEILIDH

Was held on October 15th.  We were able to send a check for $600 this year to this worthy charity.  It was partially raised at the Ceilidh and partially from generous donations afterwards.  All donations are fully tax deductible.  Our ceilidh was well attended, the entertainment fun (and Scottish) and our speaker knowledgeable in the need for water in remote areas.  We danced the Circassian Circle and almost everyone participated - including one member who is a 102 year old great grandmother - born in Fife, Scotland.
