Hello Friends,

 

Another Friday here and what looks to be another gloomy day, pretty soon the rain will be gone, the hot weather here, and we will be roasting.  We should enjoy this as best as possible.

 

The Ireland Report comes to us from County Allegheny with myself reading the Round Up of News.  This segment is sponsored by AOH St. Patrick Division 4 in the North Hills with Rick Duffy as president.  The Top of the Hour Moment is sponsored by LAOH Maude Gonne Division 32 in Carnegie.  I am working on the topic as I write.

 

The Macdonald Pipe Band is looking for beginning and experienced Bagpipers and Drummers.  There are a variety of experience levels that the pipe band needs.  If you have been around Pittsburgh for a long time then you might remember this Pipe Band has an excellent reputation for exceptional performances and outstanding talent.  Give this some thought.

 

Calliope has a couple of outdoor concerts Under the Tent at Schenley Plaza.  I know this is always a good time.

 

On Sunday, June 22nd, I will be reading the Round-Up of news from Ireland.  When there are five Sunday's in a month then I usually give a report.

 

Coming up July 4th, Pittsburgh has an array of activities celebrating America's Birthday, read about some of these activities on Dateline Irish.  And you may also have your own celebrations in your back yards with barbecue's and firework's.  This is a relatively short listing of Irish events going on in our region, however you can still have some fun.

 

Remember AOH St. Patrick Division 4 is still planning their Day of Irish Entertainment at Schuetzen Park in Ross Township.  The men are still working on the final details.  Because of a change in dates, some other components had to be rearranged, and that is not always easy.  Just know it will still happen.

 

This is going to be it for today.  Have a great weekend and enjoy whatever you do.

 

All the best,

Diane
