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 />
