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 2008 program was a big success. Chief Nuncio Bonamico out did himself with the dinner. Darrell Murray, a classically-trained violinist and member of the West Virginia Symphony that has become a top Scottish fiddler, was delightful. John Gall’s Immortal Memory will be remembered for years. All attendees seemed to enjoy the evening and said they are looking forward to 2009.
The 2009 dinner is scheduled for Saturday, January 24, 2009 at 5:30 p.m. at Via Veneto in Bridgeport. We will update these pages later in 2008 as next year’s details are finalized.
If you are not a Society member, drop us an email if you want to receive an invitation to the 2009 Burns Dinner. You can send these to any Society Board member or to Bill and Eleanor MacLean at macleanbe@earthlink.net.
We hope to see you in 2009!
