In recognition of the food insecurity that many of our neighbors are currently facing, please bring a donation of non-perishable food – canned, bottled, boxed – that we will deliver to the local food pantry. The current list of requested items includes chicken rice soup, cream of celery soup, chunky soups, lentils (1 pound size), chick peas, dry beans, black beans, canned chicken (small size), canned tuna, and pancake syrup.

We will be holding our quarterly meeting on Sunday, October 26th, downstairs in the An Sibin of Tellus360, starting at 1:00 pm

There will be a short business meeting before being regaled by our speaker for the day.

Author Lauren Thomas will discuss her book, The Celtic Code  -  Can the Irish Save Western Civilization Again, and its take on Irish mythology and history, and the process by which her book came about.  Ms. Thomas lives in Delaware and teaches Irish language, history, mythology, and culture there.  She hosts a podcast,  The Incomparable History Of Ireland, available at https://www.buzzsprout.com/2305989/ or on Spotify.

Street parking on Sundays is free. If you don't like leaving your car parked on the street or can't find street parking, and don't mind walking a few blocks I believe Steinman Garage parking is also free on Sundays. On the 4th Sunday of each month an Irish session is held upstairs with music beginning at 2:00 PM which will be in process by the time our meeting concludes.
