29TH ANNUAL FEIS
CHAIRPERSON: Nora Smith (798-4921)
Nora would like to thank our Treasurer, Paul Mahoney, and his wife Jane for keeping the money straight on Feis day.  We missed thanking them in person, as was the case with the cadets from Delaware Military Academy.  They filled in anywhere needed and worked all day.  We are grateful that they chose to earn their community service credits by helping out the ICCD.  Good job, Cadets! 

Actually, everyone who helps out on Feis day or in setting up the day before, in so many ways, deserves our most sincere gratitude.  Nora and her committees tie everything together and keep it moving forward...and everyone who is there to help makes it happen!

And, most of all, the ICCD--members and Board--all thank Nora for her dedication and hard work, every year!

               --to serve food and drinks: Bob Baird (998-3547) is in charge of the food court.  Please call him to volunteer to cook, serve and or clean up.  Beverages (beer, soda, water, etc.) are the charge of Paul Dolan who can use volunteers too.

               --to arrange and/or serve tea, coffee & goodies in the Tea Room: An Cuppan Tae Tea Room is being headed by Ann Mullin (328-8295).  Please call her to help set up on Saturday, and to bake, pack and/or serve snacks, as well as the coffee and tea, on Sunday.  Any amount of time you can put in will be greatly appreciated.

               --to bake cookies, breads, scones, brownies, etc.:  Again, please call Ann.  Parents of dancers are most welcome to contribute too!

               --to help at the Dry Goods Table:  Cheryl  & Bob M. will be handling Dry Goods.  They could use a few breaks during Sunday, so call Kathy (429-9026) if you can spare an hour or two.

              --to help work at the door or handle chances:  please call Iris Morrison (1 302 945-4571), chair of Door/Chances.

Please consider offering your help (it's lots of fun and a chance to make new friends!), and call Nora, who will direct you to the right person in charge.
