View this email in your browser Our VP of Events, Rob Tate, to present on ancient Irish architecture This month is a first: Rob Tate's debut presentation at a Memphis Irish Society gathering. He's passionate about buildings and their design, and we're hoping a big crowd will show to support him. The Celtic ancestors of Ireland had an architectural tradition all their own, one that is seldom represented in modern Irish-themed media. We've all seen photos of Trinity's Long Room, the Dublin spire, and thatched cottages. Are you eager to see construction of authentic Irish conception?

As usual, we'll be meeting at 6:00 in the Ballina Room at Celtic Crossing on the third Tuesday, which falls on January 21. Rob's presentation will begin at 7:00. If you've been waiting for the right event to introduce yourself to the Society, this will be a good one come get connected. We promise you'll leave with new friends! Watch for announcements of our next big event: the Imbolg Ball: An Irish Céilí Experience. What are you doing Saturday, February 1 from 3:00 to 6:00? Enjoying the Irish craic at an Irish céilí in an Irish pub! Forthcoming emails will have instruction for acquiring tickets.
