So whatever your political persuasion, do give your support, and if you I mentioned in last months issue that our Easter Party would have an hour to spare on the day why not join the walkers, be a little different this year. Well, it certainly was. I would then we will all benefit. describe it as one of the nicest days in our calendar of events. Just over a hundred of our Senior Citizens, including our guests from Leixlip, arrived for Mass at 3.00p.m., celebrated by Father Frank Dtihig. In his homily he welcomed us all to the College and spoke of the history and links between the College and local community. After Mass we watched a video on the history and places of interest within the College. This was followed by dinner in the students' refectory, and I take this opportunity to thank Committee members at Awards Night for No Name Club Enjoying the Old Peoples Dinner in the College Michelle and staff for the kindness and courtesy shown to all L-R: Clare Higgim, Evelyn McGrath and John Lambe of us. Full and barely mobile, we made our way over to the big chapel. What a treat was in store for us there! After a short talk on the chapel itself the choir entertained us in concert, Enjoying afternoon tea in the College Refectory which can only be described as a divine experience. This indeed was the highlight of the day. Their poignant May is now recognized as the month of the arts.

So, with that in mind we ask Old Peoples' Dinner in the College all our Senior Citizens to join in this event. Those of you who can paint, draw, write, do needle work, in fact any art form, are welcome, and all your work can be displayed in the Library. The name Bealtaine was chosen for this celebration of the arts because of it's evocation of springtime, freshness, renewal and fire. In this ancient May time festival, hearth fires were traditionally extinguished on May Eve and re-lit from Sacred fIre on May morning. The Bealtaine Festival of the Arts is a celebration of creativity in Older Age which renews and refreshes.
