Goodbye, Feis America

To Kathleen, everyone at FA, and all the subscribers:

I loved the magazine. I really did. I loved the feis reports, articles written by dancers, teachers, and parents, and everything. My brother loved the special boys only section. (We actually happen to attend the same dance school as Ms. White's son) I was shocked that one mom and her supporters had the power and means to put out a bimonthly magazine exclusively about competitive Irish dancing in North America.

But all good things must come to an end. Even multi-time World Champions must eventually retire from competition.

Thank you for working so hard to put out the last issue. We are excited to discover IDM and hope that you may be able to continue FA at some point- even if it's twenty years from now!

Slainte,

Ginny

A dedicated reader

It broke my heart when I found out this was happening, as I've come to know Kathleen as a boss and friend and I really respect and like her. Treat Feis America and my former boss well, IDM!

Feis America will have a section in IDM, to answer your question.
