Today’s Meeting
At today’s meeting, Nancy Lindholm will lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance, and Peter Higgins will offer the invocation. Our program today will be a craft talk by our own Aman Gupta.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
This Thursday marks St. Patrick’s Day, a cultural and religious celebration in honor of the foremost patron saint of Ireland. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, and celebrates the heritage and culture of the Irish in general. Celebrations generally involve public parades and festivals, and the wearing of green attire. The Lenten restrictions on eating and drinking alcohol are lifted for the day, which is likely the explanation for the other popular St. Patrick’s Day activity - drinking beer. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
