Happy Fall! Typically at this time of year I have a fundraiser for Echoes of Erin. Since 1999 that fundraiser has been Samhain, The Celtic New Year. This year I decided to rest Samhain for a while, then bring it back with more vim & vigor at a later date.
In the meantime, my Brookline Buddies are at it again!

Echoes of Erin is now in its 29th year broadcasting on WEDO 810AM. Back in January 2016 the station was sold and we moved our physical plant a few miles northeast, up to North Versailles, Pa. In that transition we lost our online capability.
I am happy to report that over the past six weeks Echoes of Erin has two additional means of listening to the program. Diane.Byrnes@verizon.nethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06557419387674628006noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452868.post-8448107979582813622016-08-20T18:11:00.002-05:002016-08-20T18:11:38.598-05:00Dear Friends, Readers, and Listeners,

Here we are at the beginning of another New Year and as usual I have goals to accomplish. One of them is keeping this Blog updated, current, and new items posted once a week. Even though I have not written here as I have previously said I would, I will give it another try. Most of the time I just run out of time.
So, for 2015 I begin again!
Regards,
Diane
