Robert Burns Dinner
Robert Burns is the national poet of Scotland. His poems touch a cord with most readers and range from expressions of love, to humorous events, to passionate statements about the beauty of the Scotland he lived in. Scots around the world celebrate Burns with a Burns Dinner, usually in late January. Our Burns Dinner is open to all, you do not have to be a member of the Society.
The 2010 program should be grand. It will be held on Saturday, January 30, 2010 at 5:30 p.m. at Via Veneto in Bridgeport. Chef Nancio Bonamico has promised us another great dinner.
Lynn Barnes-Dale, a celtic harpist from Cumberland, Maryland, will be our principal entertainer. Lynn has performed at the Scottish Festival and Celtic Gathering and having her for our Burns Dinner should be a treat.
Kevin Anderson, the immediate past president of the Society, will give the Immortal Memory.
If you are an active Society member you will receive an invitation soon after Christmas. If you have an interest in the Burns Dinner but are not a Society member, you are welcome to attend. Please contact Bill or Eleanor MacLean at 304-842-0370 or macleanbe@earthlink.net to be added to the invitation mailing list.
See you in January!
