As you put away tins of Christmas goodies and New Year tinsel, plan to join the Celtic Society of Southern Maryland (CSSM) in the annual celebration of Robert Burns Night, Saturday, January 19, 2008, at the Elk's Lodge in Prince Frederick, 1015 Dares Beach Road.

Tickets are $50 per person; children's tickets are available. Social hour and cash bar begin at 5:30pm followed by entertainment and dinner. This 12th annual Burns Night is held by the CSSM to honor the great Scottish poet Robert Burns, his life and achievements. There will be haggis, roast beef, lamb, white fish, bagpipes and highland dancers.

The ritual, now celebrated all over the world near or on Robert Burns' birthday of January 25, began 202 years ago when, in 1796, close friends of Scotland's most famous poet, Robert Burns, held a supper in tribute to his memory. The basic format for the evening has remained unchanged since and begins when the chair invites the company to receive the haggis. We must receive your RSVP and payment by January 12.

Happy Hogmanay!
