Lost green bloomers to team dress at dress rehearsal on Nov. 8th.
Initials of K.L. are on the label. If picked up by accident please bring them to the O'. Kaitlyn needs them for teams on Sat. at 1:00 and also at 1:45. Please reply if you have them or have an extra pair to borrow.

We would like to wish everyone good luck this upcoming weekend at the Oireachtas! It seems weird not seeing everyone and Brianna and Shannon are constantly talking about everyone and how much they miss everyone and dance down the supermarket aisle.

You all will be in our thoughts this weekend and aside from wishing all of the dancers, parents, grandparents and of course Ms. Anne, the luck of the Irish, enjoy yourselves, have fun and smile.

Also, for those who may be participating in the Dover Holiday parade we will be having our Open House as usually after the parade and hope to see you there (128 Henry Law Ave. - Dover)!

Did anyone accidentally take home, or put in their bag Conall's T-shirt at the party Sun. evening??? It is the newer Murray short sleeved green tie-dyed one. I am 99% sure that his name is NOT in it, and that it is a size Med.? It is practically new, and he is very upset because he really tried hard Not to forget to bring everything home that he was supposed too...We are at the studio tonight (Mon. 5-6:30). Thanks so much!!!

Hey. I was looking on the Oireachteas Schedule that Ms. Anne sent out to everyone, but I can't find my competitiion; #8, girls 12-13 solos, on Sunday. I looked for quite a while and pretty thoroughly. (I know this sounds silly as it is a simple skill;finding a competition # on a scedule). Would someone please provide me with an explaination if they have one... or maybe I am just blind!?

Hey everyone! I just wanted to say hi to everyone and this seemed like the best way to get in touch with the masses! I miss you all terribly as well as dancing, and it's so hard with the Oireachtas approaching to not be a part of it!! I've been incredibly busy with classes and working at the aquarium, but it's been an amazing experience so far. I really miss my Murray family and hope everyone is doing well. I'll be keeping my eyes open for Oireachtas news and am sending tons of luck to everyone in the last few weeks of preparation! Hopefully I can stop by during my Christmas break to say hi in person.
Much love!

FYI- From SICA:
Captain Mackey's Goatskin & Stringband in concert


Featuring the renowned Cork City singer and bouzouki player Jimmy Crowley,
“Captain Mackey's Goatskin and Stringband” takes its name from that of a
19th-century Irish-American Fenian hero and a great Cork folk band of the
1960’s, “Paddy's Goatskin and Stringband,” a group that had a big influence
on Jimmy's musical career. Jimmy formed the new group with singer and
bodhrán player Máirtín de Cogáin, a fellow Corkman and fellow Irish speaker
who was a founder of The Fuschia Band. They are joined by Texas fiddler
Valerie Plested and guitarist Don Penzien and, to quote Jimmy, “’Tis a
mighty sound, indeed!”

They are launching their album in New York's Ireland House on Oct 2nd.

Hi Ladies, Olivia’s solo dress is up for sale and I wanted to post it in house in case you’re searching for a dress for the “O”. I’m asking $800.00 for the dress as it is in perfect condition. This dress is suitable for a dancer age 8-10. It is a two piece dress. The bodice is dark and light purple with white embroidery and white sequins with crystals on the front of the bodice. The skirt is light purple and white with dark purple embroidery and crystals. The detailing of the dress is beautiful. If you are interested, please contact Val Mitchell at robert.d.mitchell@comcast.net or my cell at 603-770-0403. Olivia will need to use this dress until her new dress arrives, which will be in October some time.

If you'd like to post a solo or school dress for sale, there is now a binder at the studio. Print out a picture, the info/measurements/size, the price you are asking, along with your contact info and just slip it into binder.

Hi All,

Katie seems to have lost her MIDA shoe bag with a couple of pairs of soft shoes and other accessories in it. Please let me know if someone picked it up by mistake. Her name is in the bag as well as in her shoes. Additionally, a pair of hard shoes with Katie's name (K. Ellis) is also missing from the studio. The hard shoes (size 1) are being worn by S. Coombs at the moment. We are going to the Horgan Feis this weekend so if it is found, please let me know ASAP and I will arrange to pick it up or meet at the studio. You may e-mail me at the attached address. Thank you.

Caitlin seems to have lost one soft shoe. So, if anyone has an extra shoe (I think size 1 or 2) that they maybe picked up at last Thursday's class let me know.
Thanks.

Ella's dress is going up for sale. It's a bright yellow and black Chantelle. With the "O" around the corner I thought I would offer it up in-house 1st. I am asking $1000 and it is in perfect condition. She will need to use it until her next dress arrives, so we are in no hurry. Call me @ 770-7026 if you are interested.

Hi everyone,
the Teacher's group has sent a reminder that rooms at the Westin and the Hilton will be open to on-line booking come Aug.22...more info. to follow. However, the Courtyard by Marriott which is 5 minutes from the Convention Center is offering upgrades and practice space for any schools that want to reserve a block of 20 or more rooms. Please discuss with your other Murray friends and get back to me--if there is enough interest, I need to get back to Terry Gillan, the Regional Director, to arrange things. Thanks! Anne

Hi Everyone. Well the time has come and Sadie is ready to pass her beloved gold dress down to the next dancer. As many of you know she adores it and is very sad to see it go, but would love if it belonged to someone in our school. If there is anyone her size or smaller that would like to try it let me know. I am asking $200 for it and can bring it to the studio anytime. My number is 772-2075.

Even in my few years as an Irish Dance Mom I knew of Mary McInerney. She was famous for her smile and she was easy to spot at every feis with her beautiful red hair. I have seen her with her students and her children at most NE feis. She passed away last week after a long struggle with breast cancer. As a mom my heart breaks for her children. As a way to show my respect and sympathy to her family I will be making a donation to the Zona Trust Fund. I hope many of you will join me. I will have a card at the studio next week. Please sign the card and put a check in the envelope. I think that having each of us write a check it will show the family exactly how many people care about them. Please pray for her family as well as her dance family.

Hi Everyone, this time I have happy news. Long story but, I had an email from a TC in New Zealand. She is looking for pen pals/email buddies for her dancers. If your dancer in interested please send me their name age and an email address or mailing address you would like to use. Probably their level of dance might help match them upwith another dance . Wouldn't it be amazing if we met our buddies at the World championships one day!

Just heard from Elizabeth on when she plans to be at the studio next--it will be Aug. 18 from 4:00 on. Some of you need to bring school dresses that need to be altered, and some of you need to get with her on solo dress changes. Please let me know if you cannot make it that day--and perhaps you can at least bring your dress in ahead of time. Any remaining people to be measured (Diana B. for example)should plan to be there if at all possible. This will be the last chance to order a school dress for the fall/winter.

Just received notice that the hotel rooms at the O venue will be opened up for reservations from the public on August 23 until October 31. I will have more specifics for you closer to that date,ie. number to call, etc. Right now they are only taking teachers' reservations, until August 22. This year, they will NOT be allocating a certain number of rooms per school based on last year's entries. So you will just want to book your room as early as possible.

We did not have enough riders to charter a bus to the McInerney Feis on August 8, 2009 (and have it reasonably priced). We had 25 riders signed up, but we really needed about twice that to make a trip to Worcester cost effective. For those of you who were interested, we are regrouping. Plans are underway to offer this again during the 2009-2010 academic year. If you have any ideas, please let us know and stay posted! :)

LLBean has a new women's rugby that is $34.50. I asked about a dscount on a group order and she said yes once the order for (one item) reaches $750. She didn't say how much of a discount. If any of you has an llbean card that is usually free shipping. SO I know a bunch of you are away but let me know. Several of the girls wanted rugbies for the O, embroidery would be extra with our local guy. I can check with him on cost.

Hi everyone. Moving on to the next adventure!!!!!!
Barb Henricks has reserved us a Coach-type bus. We have 12 people signed up so far (44 spots left) and need to know by 7/7 if we have enough people to keep it reasonably priced.

The message/details are below.

Reserve your spot by adding as many spots as you need on the volunteer spot calendar.
Here's the Link:
http://www.volunteerspot.com/login/entry/48-62925598858

If for whatever reason you can't access it - just send me an email with how many spots and I can add you.

Thank you and "THANKS" again to everyone for making yesterday so much fun!!!
Annie



Sign Up to Ride!!
Dear Murray Families The McInerney Feis is being held on August 8, 2008 at the fully air conditioned DCU arena in Worcester, MA.
We are planning on chartering a fully air conditioned coach to this feis. The coach seats 56 people and would cost approximately 20.00 per rider. This will be a fun and exciting way to build school spirit by cheering on Murray dancers at every level; getting to know other families around Murray; and to relax and enjoy an entire feis.

The charter is scheduled to leave the Stratham Plaza at 6AM and return after our last dancer has danced. We plan to make a stop for food on the way home.
If you are interested in what proves to be a great day, please sign up to reserve your seat(s). Seats will be reserved on a first-come first-serve basis.
Please make checks out to Cara Rince.

Note: The FEIS entry deadline is July 13, 2009. You must complete this (it's separate from the bus sign up). The syllabus can be picked up at the studio or downloaded from the CR Website http://www.orgsites.com/nh/cararince
