From the Northern California Manx: Report on Christmas Cooish, January 19, 2014. We met on Sunday, Jan. 19, 2014 at the home of Kim Parker and Peter Herrera, being made welcome as always. There were 19 in attendance, our highest number in years. The Potluck and festivities were organized by Una Reed, our Social Director. Una ran a raffle where everyone won a prize (except Una). We began by singing “Ellan Vannin” and “O Land of Our Birth”. We are giving a lot of attention to updating our Social Media presence and internet connections to get the latest information about the Isle of Man, NAMA, and the upcoming Convention. Much of our program was spent talking about the Convention activities and the logistics – where to stay and how to get there. Most interest, of course, was about Tynwald activities. It was stressed that everyone should say up to date on everything, don’t assume that everything will just fall into place. As a sidebar, Elaine Stephenson entertained us with her memories of living in an amusement park. Thanks again to Una, Kim and Peter for making our Cooish a great success. Our next meeting will be June 1, checking in one last time before the Convention. Jack Cormode
