Robbie Burns Night - A Great Success

The great support provided by the community ensured that Robbie Burns Night was a resounding success. From the preparation to the meal, to the tributes, to the varied performances, islanders came together to honor the immortal memory of the great Scottish Poet.

The dinner was traditional Scottish fare with Haggis as the featured item. Many thanks to the kitchen staff for the preparation and service. The food was delicious, and the service staff worked hard to make sure everyone received the food in a timely fashion.

Islanders new and old stepped up to provide the toasts and accolades. Robbie Burns' life came to life in the reciting of his poetry and recounting of his life story.

We were entertained by highland dancers, a piper and our own local singers. All exceeded expectations, though Alyssa White, the four-year-old highland dancer easily stole the show. Both the dancers and the piper were very impressed by Thetis and committed to returning next year.

Thanks, in particular to everyone who came out for the evening and made it a sold-out evening. We are already looking forward to next year's Robbie Burns Night.
