Céilí Bréigéide Costume Céilí Agus ná déan dearmad ar na heachtraí speisialta a bheas ar siúil againn oíche Dé Sathairn. I ndiaidh an dinnéir beidh Seisiún Cois Tine againn (laistigh i mbliana). Agus go díreach thar éis sin cuirfidh muid tús lenár gCéilí Bréigéide bliantúil. Beidh duaiseanna bronnta ar na culaithe is fearr (nó is suimiúla, is aite, is craiceáilte, srl). Ó, beidh an-chraic go deo againn, mar is gnách! Is féidir leat clarú agus íocaíocht a dhéanamh ar an idirlíon. Tá Faisnéis Ghinearálta, Eolas an Bhealaigh & Foirm Chláraithe ar fáil tríd an nasc seo.

Fuair ár seanchara Pádraig Ó Maoláin bás ag tús mhí Dheireadh Fómhair anuraidh. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam uasal. Cé go raibh muid croíbhriste ár gcara díl a chailleadh, tá muid buíoch as a chairdiúlacht, a thaise, agus a acmhainn mhaith grinn. Bhí aithne againn uilig ar Phádraig mar Leasuachtarán Dhaltaí na Gaeilge, ár bhFear an Tí, agus deisitheoir den chéad scoth. Agus bhí sé d'ádh ar a lán againn go raibh Pádraig ina dhreatháir mór tacúil, chara na cruóige, agus dhlúthchara dúinn. Ba ghrá leis Esopus agus go mór mór na laethanta a chaith sé ansin i measc a sheanchairde. Bhíodh nós aige a chuid ama breise a chaitheamh ina shuí ag breathnú ar an lochán ciúin agus na crainn mórga. Chuir muid plean i dtoll a chéile binse eibhir a leagadh ag an Marist Center ag amharc ar an tírdhreach álainn céanna. Bhí lúcháir orainn go raibh deis againn Binse Phádraig a thíolacadh i rith Seachtain na Gaelige in Esopus. Agus bhí sé ar fheabhas dream mór a fheiceáil ansin ina onóir. Trócaire Dé ar a anam lách.

I gcuimhne ar ár gcara dil, Pádraig Mullen. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Tír gan teanga, Tír gan anam.

Daltaí na Gaeilge will hold our Irish Language Immersion Weekend, November 10th - 12th. Last year we returned at long last to Jamison, Pennsylvania, and had a fabulous time. We hope to have the pleasure of your company this year. Overnight attendees who register by October 27th (either by mail or online) will receive a $10 discount.

Céilí Bréigéide Costume Céilí And don't forget about the special events that will be held on Saturday night. After dinner we will have a fireside seisiún (indoors this year). And immediately following that we will have our annual Costume Céilí. Prizes will be awarded for the best costumes (or the ones that are the most interesting, strange, outlandish, etc). The craic is sure to be mighty, as always! We would love to see you there. General Information, Directions and a Registration Form are available here.

Our dear friend Pádraig Mullen passed away last year at the beginning of October. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam uasal. Although we were heartbroken to lose our old friend, we are grateful to have known his warmth, compassion and wicked sense of humor. All of us knew Pádraig as the Daltaí na Gaeilge Vice President, Fear an Tí, and all-around problem solver. And many of us were also privileged to know him as a nurturing teddy bear of a big brother, shoulder to lean on and trusted confidant. He loved Esopus and most especially the days he spent there amongst his many dear friends. He would spend his free time sitting outside, taking in the view of the peaceful pond and majestic trees. As a tribute to Pádraig we decided to place a granite bench at the Marist Center that looks out over that same beautiful landscape. We were delighted that we had the opportunity to dedicate Pádraig's Bench (Binse Phádraig) during the Summer Immersion Week in Esopus. And it was truly wonderful to see a large crowd gathered there in his honor. Trócaire Dé ar a anam lách.

I gcuimhne ar ár gcara dil, Pádraig Mullen. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Tír gan teanga, Tír gan anam.

Le gach dea-ghuí,

Daltaí na Gaeilge
