Already ~ February
Time goes so fast!
Come dance at the Ceili
You’ll have a blast!

Just jigs, reels, and hornpipes
Great music galore!

Midwest Fleadh Cheoil 2012
 

This year, FON will again be hosting the Midwest Fleadh Cheoil.

Last year's was a great success and we hope to make this year even better! (If that's even possible) But, it was a success because of all the wonderful workers. So again, this year, we need your help.

Hosting a Fleadh Cheoil is a big task with a lot of expenses involved. We will be having some fund-raisers and would like you to take note of them. More information will be coming.

Bring your spare change to the Ceilies - we will have
The Big Green Bucket available for you to deposit in our Fleadh Cheoil Fund.

Possibility of a Bake Sale
 
Your ideas for fund-raisers??? Let me know!
 
Also, would you like to volunteer?  Let me know!
 
Thank you in advance!!

 SAVE THE DATE!
