Pig Roast 2007
This year's annual pig roast was a huge success. The weather could not have been more perfect, the music was great, and there was enough pig to go around for everyone.
The top 75 pictures from the event can be found in the Pig Roast 2007 image gallery. The movie slideshow that accompanies the image gallery has music provided by The Gentleman's Club Bluegrass Band. A word of thanks to Andy from the band that provided the music that was used for the movie.

A word of thanks to everyone that came out to enjoy the event along with the Guinness Girls for passing out tee shirts, key chains and pony samples of Smithwicks Ale. It was a great time for everyone and we look forward to seeing you at this event next year.

Irish Times Genealogy Project
The ITGP was formed to bring together people who have an interest in their family's history. The format of the group will be one of helping each other to do research on an informal basis. Lou Yore will coordinate the meetings.
Those who participate can learn various resources that are available and where to access them. Those who have previous experience can assist those who are just beginning. The inaugural meeting has been rescheduled for Sunday, July 22nd at 2 p.m. in the Cottage at the Irish Times. Future meetings will be decided at that time.
To learn more about the ITGP, then feel free to download the official ITGP form by visiting the Genealogy page on the Irish Times website.
May Update Newsletter
For those of you who are wondering... No, we did not get a chance to launch the Update Newsletter for May. With all that is going on in the summer months, including the need to confirm the activity planned at Irish Times, the information scheduled for Update Newsletter was postponed and in part merged with this newsletter. We make every effort to ensure the newsletter is sent out in a timely manner and even more important that the information featured is accurate at the time. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.
