LADIES AOH:<br />

We had a wonderful day for our annual trip to<br />

Our Lady <strong>of</strong> Knock Shrine on 8/21. The East<br />

Durham Ladies and Men made us feel welcome<br />

as always. I’d like to thank the members who<br />

were able to make the trip, plus the Columbiettes<br />

and other friends. The more the merrier.<br />

Congratulations to Matt Nelligan and his Irish<br />

2000 Music & Arts Festival Committee for putting<br />

on such a great weekend. Even though it<br />

was a little cold Saturday at the Altamont Fair<br />

Grounds, it didn’t deter anyone from having a<br />

good time. I also heard Friday night and the after<br />

party at the Hall Saturday night had great turn<br />

outs.<br />

Many thanks for the support <strong>of</strong> the Ladies Division<br />

at the Fr. Peyton Dance. This dance was<br />

started by my mother Celia Leonard over 35<br />

years ago and continues strong with your support.<br />

It’s a great night <strong>of</strong> entertainment and seeing<br />

old friends.<br />
