Candle Sales

The Celtic Academy Candle Sale is back on!  The sale will run from May 1 to May 29, just in time for Mother's Day.  The dancer (youth or adult) who sells the most candles will win a free month of lessons!  Order forms and flyers can be found on the FOCA bulletin board at the studio.  We offer five different scented candles at $5 each.  Most orders can be filled at the FOCA window--if we have run out of stock of a particular scent, the order should be filled within a week. 

Gift Cards!!  Gift Cards!!  Gift Cards!!

Orders are welcome from your Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and Neighbors! 

Remember to place your gift card orders.  This month orders must be turned in by 8pm on Thursday May 15^th and 29^th.  Gift cards will be available for pick up 1 week later.

Order forms and a vendor list are available on the FOCA bulletin board.  You may also access the order form and vendor list on the Friends of the Celtic Academy page on our website, www.celticacademy.com.  Thanks for your support!

WORLD A’FAIR PERFORMANCES:

The sign-up sheets are on the bulletin board for the upcoming performances at the World A’Fair on May 16, 17 & 18.  You must sign-up by Thursday, May 8^th.  The practices on Tuesday, May 13^th and Thursday, may 15^th will be used to go over the show material.  This year the dancers will receive an Entertainer’s Pass to get in.  Parents will have to pay to enter the World A’Fair.  They have gone back to the old system for Workers and Entertainers.

Pre-Sale tickets are available in the office for the World A’Fair.  They are only available until Monday, May 12^th at 6:00pm.   Please purchase your tickets from the Celtic Academy as we will receive a portion of the sales!  What an easy fundraiser!

Many volunteers are needed the weekend of the World A’Fair.  As a member group of the United Irish, we are asked to provide as many volunteers as possible.  By volunteering your time you will receive a Worker’s Pass to enter the World A’Fair free of charge!  The areas for volunteers are Ticket Sales, Merchandise Sales, Pub Fry Sales and the Bar.  Sign-up Sheets are located on the bulletin board.  Thank you for any time you are able to provide to make the Ireland booth run smoothly at this year’s World A’Fair!

NEW WIG VENDOR INFORMATION:

We have chosen a new wig style/vendor for all our dancers.  The wig is the looser curl style and sold by Emerald Key.  The wig name is Maeve and comes in either junior ($85) or senior ($95) sizes.  In order to purchase these wigs you will need to be recolored by the office since these wigs do not use the same color codes as the other company.  You may continue to use the wig you currently have, but if needing a new one, we prefer this model/style. 

Orders will now be the responsibility of the dancer/family and can be done on line at www.emeraldkeyonline.com.  If you have any questions or concerns, please see Lynn Eviston in the office or e-mail her at mjeviston@yahoo.com.

COMPETITIONS:

Practice!  Practice!   Practice!

Remember to Practice at home also.  Every bit of practice – done properly – will make you stronger for competition.

Be sure to check the websites for the feiseanna (competitions) you want to attend.  Some competitions are open for registration and they do reach their caps quickly.  Remember they do not send the information to the teachers so check their websites often!
