Special Message From The Chairperson If you haven't checked out Comhaltas Live's web cast, I would urge you to do so.  It is an outstanding program of the best in traditional music, broadcasting a completely new program weekly.  It can be either streamed or downloaded and retained for your later viewing or archiving.  The site is at www.comhaltaslive.ie.  A very large investment has been made to create this program and it is imperative that as many people as possible sign up as quickly as possible to cover operating costs and make it successful.  So please give it a look and sign up.  Thank you. Helen Gannon, Chairperson, CCÉ North America
