To the Editor:

My wife and I attended the Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corp corned beef and cabbage dinner and fundraiser. We were particularly fortunate to arrive shortly before the local Irish Step Dancers performed. What a wonderful display of grace, athleticism and a feeling of joy they presented to the assembled crowd. The corned beef was the best I've tasted and the whole affair had a real community feel. I might suggest turning down the sound system but otherwise it was a very nice event.

Thanks to all involved.
