19th July 2019
Hi !
Whew! Hot one today. Not my favorite weather. I'm hoping it isn't as hot on the 27th
of July.That's significant because it's Pirate Day here in the Portage Lakes. Once again we'll be setting up an information
tent near the beach. We'd love to have you there - in pirate costume, if you like. The more we help in community events,
the more folks get to know who we are. We'll be setting up from about 9:00 on, we need help, but be glad of your presence
whenever you can get there.
Miscellaneous information. If you want information on Scottish Dancing, Refreshments at meetings, Programs, Membership,
Gaelic classes, Radio broadcasts, or any other routine matters, they are elsewhere on our web site.Specific questions happily
answered - just send me an email note: margaretfrost63@gmail.com
