300.0. "Xmas get-togethers" by TALLIS::DARCY () Mon Nov 30 1987 13:48

    Cumann na Gaeilge is having their annual Christmas "L� Gaeilge"
    at St. Mark's Parish Hall in Dorchester this Saturday, the 5th of
    December at 3ish.  (No, 3ish is not Irish, it's when you can't
    remember exactly when the affair starts).
    
    They'll be plays in Irish, Poetry, Songs, sean-nos, followed by
    a Gaelic Mass at 5:30 upstairs in the Church.  Afterwards, there'll
    be a Hot full-course meal (I think it's chicken with all the
    trimmings), then after a ceili with Joe Joyce.  After that, I'm
    sure we'll be heading out to Boston for some more fun.
    
    If you want more info or reservations contact Peggy Clougherty
    at 739-5032.

    The Irish Heritage Society is having their annual Christmas gathering
    on Sunday, the 6th of December at 3:00.  I'll get more info on the
    theme and time of their party later.  The Irish Heritage Society
    was founded by the late Henry Weldon, who also founded Cumann na Gaeilge
    i mBoston.  Their focuses on the cultural aspects of Ireland.  In
    the past they have had storytellers from Derry, Fr. Joe from Southill
    in Limerick, William Bulger, artists, photographers, both Irish
    and non-Irish alike.  If you like to meet the who's who for Boston's
    Irish, come to one of their get-togethers and you'll meet everyone
    from the Boston Irish Consulate to John Curran on the Sound of Erin.

    be held at Milton Academy, Straus Building, on Sunday, December
    6 from 2 pm to 5:30 pm. Admission is $7.50 or $3 for the younguns.
    I'm not sure what the program is, but I'm sure it will be worthwhile
