Summary:There are some 2,500 Irish people in Waterloo Region and about 250 are active members of the society. Detailed news about its activities is carried on CKWR community radio's Irish Horizons program on Tuesdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Exceptional entertainment is promised. The program includes harpist Siobhan McDonnell Wooton of Woodstock, a native of Antigonish, N. S., who has performed with Symphony Nova Scotia and on CBC. Young Kitchener-Waterloo dancers with the Toronto-based Butler Academy of Dancing will perform classic Irish numbers with Patrick King on the accordion. And there'll be travel films on Ireland. Dr. Tom McDonagh will be master of ceremonies. A "green" event is being held on March 17, but this has to do with the environment. The Canadian Federation of University Women of Kitchener-Waterloo is sponsoring an open meeting to hear former Waterloo councillor Lynn Woolstencroft, currently a Conestoga College instructor, who has produced an excellent children's book on recycling. She promises "an inside report on the politics of recycling."
