The Gaelic College of Celtic Arts and Crafts will be hosting Deireadh Seachdain Dhan Teaghlach (a Gaelic Family Weekend), on Saturday and Sunday, November 7& 8, 2009.

This Family Weekend will bring together parents, children, youth, and extended family members to learn and enjoy Gaelic within settings and scenarios natural to day-to-day family living.

Everyone is welcome to contribute to the evening's enjoyment.

PLEASE NOTE: This weekend is intended for Families who wish to learn Gaelic together. Adults must be accompanied by children/youth. Children/Youth must be accompanied by an adult.
