The weather made it difficult to attend, but those who were able to attend the annual Robert Burns tea enjoyed an afternoon of good food, good company, great music and poetry by Rabbie himself.
Bob Lawson read a brief self-authored biography of Scotland's most famous native son, and Caleb May shared some of Burns' most famous poems, offering some insight into each. Finally, Rev. Doug Phenix led us in some traditional Scottish tunes.
March and April look to be active for TSAS. St. Patrick's Day (Monday, March 17) means it's time to march behind the Kansas Territorial Pipes and Drums in the annual downtown Topeka parade. Keep your eyes here for more details.
In celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath, you're encouraged to don the tartan for National Tartan Day! TSAS will be celebrating with a Pub Night at Lucky Dog's Sports Bar, next to Frances O'Dooley's. There will be pint and appetizer specials for those wearing their tartan.
We've also put in a request for Governor Sebelius to proclaim April 6th "National Tartan Day in Kansas." More news will be posted as we hear back from her office.
Hope to see you at the parade!
