Burns Supper:
January 23, 2010

Last January my wife and I decided to fly down from California to attend the glittering occasion of the Society's Burns Supper.

Your committee had arranged a beautiful room, great dinner, bands, speeches, toasts, award presentations, singers, dancers and of course a ceilidh for everybody to enjoy some mid-winter fun, music and dancing. I hope many of you will decide that with the economy on the mend, it's time to invite your friends, or neighbors or co-workers for a night out they'll always remember.
