Flynn Flynng Ireland 2000

15th Annual Flynn Family Reunion Into the Millennium in Ireland

Our family's Irish forbears came to Schuyler, Nebraska in the mid-1800s from Gowna, County Cavan and Carrig Allen, County Leitrim. We've decided to hold our 15th Annual Family Reunion in Ireland in the Year 2000. Earlier reunions have been held in Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota and Missouri. The next one in 1999 is scheduled for Chadron State Park in Nebraska. We plan to do a reconnaissance trip to County Cavan and County Leitrim in March 1999 to meet with our relatives there and set up our reunion. We believe our Ireland 2000 Reunion could serve as a model for other families who might want to hold a reunion in Ireland but don't know how to set it up. Our family is well traveled and has considerable experience in organizing tour groups around the world. We would like to work with the Irish Tourist Board in the organization of our reunion.

Dear Jack,

Your letter relating to the Flynn Flynng Ireland 2000 gathering was passed to me for attention. I am delighted to hear that the Flynn Clan will gather in Cavan and Leitrim in the year 2000. If you need any help regarding accommodation and facilities in both areas both our New York office and a number of organisations here in Ireland would be delighted to help. One such organisation is the Clans of Ireland, a voluntary group responsible for the marketing of Clan gatherings. They also produce guidelines to assist with the organisation of a gathering. Please contact Dr Margaret Tierney, Chairperson, Clans of Ireland, Grange Clare, Kilmeague, Naas, Co Kildare tel: 045-860623. Do let me know in advance the date of your arrivial in March and I will arrange a small get together.

Kind Regards

Ciara Gallagher, Irish Tourist Board - Dublin
