Hello, Generally, Maura starts the Party on or a day or two either way from St.Paddy's and it runs for about a week. I don't post often, but have been a member since almost the beginning. I have been reading the Posts, but didn't see her post the start as yet. I did see the post stating that she wanted to give the other Counties the chance to either change to Digest Mode or unsubscribe. I am also looking foward to the Party, with new members, you never know, we may find a cousin or two that we didn't know about : ) Happy St. Paddy's to all, Ed Horan
