Is fearr Gaeilge briste ná Béarla cliste!

Even broken Gaelic is better than clever English

Back to the Future, A Fall Immersion Weekend!

We have had discussions about who would be interested in an Immersion Weekend in Austin, and whether a second Immersion Weekend later in the year would be of interest to people. The answer to both questions seems to be yes.

Basically, we would like to help Austin get themselves going and indeed it would mean that many of us could go both weekends. Other reasons for holding an event in Austin are:

  • People from Austin and as far away as Houston have attended the Immersion weekend for a number of years.
  • Austin is a more central location for Texas, so an event there would encourage attendance from South Texas, as well as Austin itself.

We are working with members of the Austin Gaelic League, Craobh na gCnoc, to try to set something up for September or October.

We have established potential sites, but some locations need almost a year’s advance booking. We have not finalized anything as of yet, but we will contact all members with updates.

Comhghairdeas!

Congratulations to our Leaschathairleach, Paul Grogan, wife Gail, and daughter Siobhán, on the arrival of Ciarán Seán Grogan on May 9th at about 2:30 a.m.! Ciarán made his entrance at 8 lbs. 8 oz., 20 inches, and he was in a hurry, with the doctor commenting that all he needed was his catching mitt. Well done, Grogan family!
