JULY
Congratulations to the dancers who attended the June feisanna. You did a great job!
Good luck to Jon at the North American National Championships in Orlando.
Good luck to the dancers attending the July feisanna--Colorado, Badger State, Cream City
and Nation's Capital.
We will be performing for the Irish American Heritage Center on July 10. Please let me
know ASAP if you will be attending this performance.
The summer session of dance in Batavia will begin on Thursday, July 1. Class time is
10AM at the Moose. We will not be doing the mini session this summer because of the
Des Moines Feis. It is more beneficial to be having class every week in preparation for
the feis.

SAVE THE DATE--
Mark your calendars for August 7, 2010. That is the date of the 1st Annual Two Rivers
Feile in Des Moines, IA.
Although Iowa Irish Inc is sponsoring the feis, we will be an important part of it.
Volunteers (and dancers) will be needed. Visit the Irish Inc website at:
www.irishinc.org for additional information. The feis website will be up and working
soon. Registration will be at www.feisworx.com.
The committee has been working very hard and implementing some very exciting
ideas,including an onsite concert after the feis!
Iowa Irish Inc and the Two Rivers Feile are not-for-profit organizations registered with
the state of Iowa. If you know anyone who would be interested in making a donation or
providing a sponsorship contact the feis chairpersons--tworiverschair@q.com and
kelly@foyirishdancers.com
You can still register for the feis at: www.feisworx.com. A late fee may apply.
Please see the letter from Kelly on the message board if you haven't received a copy
via email. Also check out the wish list! (It is a file on the message board).
Congratulations to retired dancer Kira Carey on her engagement!!!
Happy Independence Day!!!
Finally---
Thank you everyone for your prayers and good wishes during my father's illness. My
mother and I appreciate all the support. Special thanks to those of you who attended
the wake and funeral, sent flowers and made donations to the American Diabetes
Association.
