Postscript to the Robbie Burns dinner

I want to thank everyone who attended and volunteered at the Burns dinner last night for their enthusiasm and support. 

I also want to share with you a piece of my various introductory remarks that was accidentally left out because of some last-minute schedule changes. It’s related to the poems we’d hoped to have more time to share. 

Here it is: "It's wonderful to have so many talented and creative people on our small island, potters, painters, musicians, carvers, writers, knitters, chefs, glass and wood artists, and not to forget those amazing carpenter, builders and mechanics. I recently met one of those creators, Susan Jones. Susan grew up in BC, lived in the Middle East, and has worked as a teacher, Clinical Psychology Counsellor and, especially, as a writer of novels, books for children, thrillers and a recent non-fiction work about Bonnie Prince Charlie called Personality, Politics and the Prince: A biography of Lady Winnifred Maxwell, Countess of Nithsdale, who helped the prince escape after the Jacobite defeat at Culloden. You can find this book in the Thetis library and more information about her online at www.susananitajones.com She’s here tonight to organize the impromptu recitation of some of Robbie Burns’ poems. Please give Susan a big hand!”

Thanks, 

Gary Geddes

Thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket. It looks to be a great night. 

There will be a cash bar featuring 4 different scotch whiskeys, beer and wine. So we remind people to be mindful of their alcohol consumption. It does not take much alcohol consumption to affect your judgement, so if you are going to drink please ensure you have arranged to have a designated driver.

Thanks
