If you missed last year's

a GREAT CONCERT!!!
We know you can see them outside at the Scottish
Festival but everybody's complaint there is "where's
the beer?!!"
Well,
we got Guinness on board with us to provide everybody
the chance to
see Marty and Brian.
Our own Doolin' Rakes is playing behind them from 9:30 pm - 1:30 am.

you a full year

Saturday April 18th
April Meeting
Irish Whiskey Tasting
and
Father Rubie's
80th Birthday

a whiskey tasting on the same occasion but we know
it is appropriate.
Come out to the meeting with the largest attendance
last year. (I wonder why.)
Last year we had 11 different whiskies starting
with poteen and finishing
with Midleton.
