Breege Kelly served as chair of our Detroit branch
for several years and has worked many years to establish the current
structure of lessons, ceilis, and concert design that we still
follow today. If Dan O
Kennedy was the "father" of our
group, Breege was the "mother".
She began ceilis down
at St. Andrew's Hall on Sunday afternoons in the late 1980s,
she organized music classes at Shrine with Al
Purcell and Justin
Manning teaching whistle, she taught Irish language classes and
ceili dancing through Royal Oak Adult Education and continued to
teach our language classes at the White Heather Club until she
and Tom retired and moved to Oxford.
We are thrilled to be able
to place her name as a person who has made a significant contribution
to the success of our branch.
Breege receives award for Woman of the Year at
the Comhaltas North America Convention in Parsippany NY.
