A festive St. Patrick's Day indeed -- The Graduates participated in not one, but two parties!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Graduates were invited to join The Santa Barbara Newcomers at their St Patrick's Day dinner 
with Irish dancing, which was organized by the Music Around Town/Dancing committee. 


The SBNC committee:
Patti Bohren, Joyce Brock, Barbara Cunningham,Julie Greener, Don and Marge Graves, Dave and Glory Lamb, Jim St. Ours

It's almost a wearin' o' the green time, but you don't have to be Irish to celebrate on Saturday, March 15, at the newly remodeled Harry's Bar and Restaurant. In the private party room we will start with socializing and a no-host bar--complete with green beer for those who wish. Before we partake of a special buffet dinner, we will be entertained by regional Irish dancers, a group who compete at the championship level in national and international events.

The buffet dinner includes the traditional corned beef and cabbage plus chicken O'Marinara, McCaesar Salad, Irish potatoes and vegetable combo, and dessert. After dinner we'll have an old fashioned sing-a-long of Irish, and maybe even some not-so-Irish songs. Can't remember the words? We'll provide them.

So, wear somethin' green and enjoy a bit o' blarney as you revel with your kith 'n kin Newcomers. Or, may ye be in heaven an hour before the divil knows yer dead!

And, The Graduates held their own event, at the home of Howard and Ethel Scar:

Hi Graduates!

Sure 'n Begorra, it's time for the wearin' o' the green!

Plans for our rollicking Saint Patrick's Celebration have been completed, so find your leprechaun costumes (at least something green) and flat shoes and plan on a great evening, Sunday, March 16th starting at 5:30 PM. The event will be
held at Ethel and Howard Scar's Montecito home, in the midst of their enchanted forest. 

If you've never heard Santa Barbara's famous (or infamous) Irish Musical group "Foggy Dew" you will be in for a great treat! Irish Willy and his crew will be a-playin' and a-singin' for us. You might even want to sing along or join in an Irish jig.

Sure 'n we will be servin' corned beef, cabbage and Irish potatoes along with salad and, of course, green beer. If you wish something else to drink, please bring it (no red wine, please). For those with a wee bit o' the sweet tooth, there will be cake for desert, and coffee and green tea!

Luck o' the Irish be with you till we see you on the 16th!
