Dear Bogs,

Thanks to Hunter & Kathleen Biden, a small group of us  have been invited to perform for Vice President & Dr. Jill Biden and
the Taoiseach of Ireland at a breakfast in his honor at the Vice President's residence at the Naval Observatory
on Tuesday, 3/19.

We'll be playing reception music from 8:30 a.m. until 9 or so when Vice President Biden will address the 
gathering.   The Taoiseach will no doubt have a few words as well, and then we'll be a focal event for a couple
few sets at the conclusion - and we'll ask Maisy Biden to join us on the last set.

I have yet to hear from Patrick, and remain hopeful of his availability to add some flute & pipes.
 Have also asked Jesse Winch to join in on bodhran if he can make himself available.

I regret to report that there is not enough room for dancers or parents at this event.   It's a small and crowded
space without room for more than the guests who have been invited.   I know this will be a disappointment for 
many of you, but there's there's nothing that can be done.

If the event were being held in Dick Cheney's bunker, I'm sure there'd be ample room....but I digress....and I'm grateful
that I don't need to direct any of you to an undisclosed location.   Who knows where we'd end up?

Will be back to you with set list for the program.   We should wear black and green.   More later.    Please confirm
your availability and I'll be back in touch.

Thanks be to Bog.

Mitch
