Teelin Irish Dance Company is famous in NY!!! -- webmaster, 18:30:05 03/12/07 Mon [3]
Hey dancers, GUESS WHAT!!!!
Molly Nilan just called on her cell phone to report that as she was driving into Syracuse, NY, she saw a huge billboard on the side of the road announcing that Teelin Irish Dancers will be at the Turning Stone Resort this weekend!!! How cool is that?!?!?!
Apparently the sign has several of the NY area Irish dance schools asking “who is Teelin???” because Teelin was asked to perform this year on the big main stage this year. Cool, huh!
Way to go, Teelin Irish Dance Company!!! Have fun, Red Troupe! Black Troupe and Apprentice Troupe are rooting for you – we know you’ll make us all proud!

Hey everyone!! I would really appreciate it if you did check your bags, and not just look at them to see if you have my cell phone. I will need one for New York next week, and so my mom knows where I am! So please please please help me! Thank you! Love you all!!
My Mom sent an email with a picture of the phone. It is a Verizon Motor KRZR (KRAZER)and the cover is cracked. It is not the one someone found earlier this week. Please look through your make-up and costume bags and let us know if you find it. Elena is going through cell phone withdrawal!
Thanks!

Ryan's Daughter Pub is a nice, family-friendly pub in the northern part of Baltimore. From Oriole Park at Camden Yards, take Pratt street through the Inner Harbor, turn left onto President Street. President St becomes I-83 North. Take Exit 10A, Northern Parkway East. Cross over the York Rd intersection, and Ryan's Daughter Pub will be on the right in the Belvedere Square Shopping Center.
