Conference tallis::celt

    I agree.  I think were long overdue.  I think it should be run during
    the week of hogmanay.
    
    Cheers,

    Now I'll be able to wear my green shoes more than one day a year!
    

    
     I can wear my green tux and sing to the high heavens. (now what
    was that tune U2 does so well?)

    Well, if it wasn't just a little too far up the road a piece,
    I'd be able to wear my green shirt........with the red dragon
    on it that says:
    
    			Cymru am Byth
    
    Would there be any Welshmen there who would be able to translate?
    :-) :-)

    Celtic Heritage week at DEC sounds good!!  I'm sure there would
    be alot of support because there are alot of DECies of Irish decent.
    
    Perhaps we who participate in this conference should initiate Irish
    Heritage Week at DEC. 
    
    What do you say, do we have anybody interested in organizing this?
    
    I would like to participate in organizing this if there is considerable
    support but my time is limited because of school in the evenings.

    I think it is an outstanding idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    I am willing to help organize and get the ball rolling, but I do
    not have the time to do it all. I can give abuot five hours a week.
    
    Any takers out there with some extra time and energy.  How about
    a list of volunteers.
    
    How about some of the read-only noters?

RE: Irish Heritage Week

I think that Celtic Heritage Week would be better.  After all, they 
don't have a Portugese Heritage Week or a Mexican Heritage Week...but 
rather a "Hispanic", kind of grouping for more support, I guess.  
Besides, I can't see a Welsh or Scottish Week getting much attention, 
but with all the Irish around Nasty-chusetts...

Afterall, we is kinda all related, huh?  (except them little 
lepper-kons, maybe...we ain't 2 sure 'bout them!)

I think a visit to Personnel would get the ball rollin'.  Anyone wanna 
go with me?  8*)

    I'll vote for Celtic Heritage week.  Maybe we can get U2, Clannad,
    or Sinead O'connor to come over and play a concert in the cafeteria.

    
    

    There is a lot of DEC outside of New England, how might we span the 
    location boundaries for a Celtic Heritage Week that we all could enjoy?

    St. Brendan's day!  What a great idea.  I can wear my green shoes,
    AND my dress whites with sword....  

    
    Dick: Will you be wearing that "outfit" to the Broadcast of the
          Mayo v Cork Football Final which will be played on
    	  St. Brendans Day :-)

    I have absolutely no idea how we would span this mega event to cover
    all of dec.  Are there any suggestions?   The only thing I can think
    of is to hold it on the same day in different facilities.

    I'm going to have to be a pessimist on this point - re: how to
    implement DEC Celtic Heritage Week in facilities outsdie of Mass.
    
    Just isn't realistic unless it's a facility that just happens to have a
    larger number of those with Celtic heritage who are willing to
    participate.
    
    For example, in our Chicago and New York area facilities - could go
    great - or other midwestern areas such as Cleveland, etc.
    
    Best of luck on that one.  Meanwhile, I'll just keep trying to arrange
    business trips at the right time!!

    add-on to .17:
    
    There are advantages to living in the cold and high cost of NE - one is
    the celtic influence and availibility , the additional Digital
    facilities and benefits, etc.

    Hi Karen,
    
    			Cymru am Byth
    
    	This means
    
    			Wales forever
    
    	Not being from Wales myself but I got it translated by a native
    Welsh man who speaks it as his first language.
    
    regards
    	Brendan
    
    BTW
    	He leaves DEC tomorrow to return to the valleys of Wales
    foreever....

    RE: .-1
    
    Does This Mean I'm the only native welsh speaker left in the whole
    of Digital??????

    be forced to leave DEC, and spent a whole week at the Eisteddfod!)
