Our small non-profit sponsors two weekend festivals of workshops each year, focusing mostly on sean-nós, Gaeilge, and trad music. Are these the types of events that others are interested in?

Our goal is to help preserve and promote traditional Irish cultural arts -- what could we do to interest you? </p>
<p>Any and all suggestions would be welcome. Thank for the input!</p>

<p><strong><span class="font-size-5">T</span>he poppy has become a lightning rod for nationalist politics i</strong>n Ireland through the decades after the Armistice ended 'The Great War' -- at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Emblematic of mourning for those who died in the war, poppies -- everpresent in British ceremonies marking the war -- were typically eschewed in Ireland. They were, in many minds, a display of solidarity with those countrymen who served Ireland's oppressor. That view was far from universal, though fear of criiticism undoubtedly kept many Irish from displaying the poppy emblem. So we ask, will you be wearing a poppy this Remembrance Day weekend?</p>
