Irish Calendars 2008

Irish Forums Member Location: Dublin

Several members have enquired about Irish calendars for 2008. The news is, yes there will be Irish calendars for sale and they will be advertised here shortly. One thought arising was that members might like to make their own Irish, or personal theme calendar, for profit or just for the the fun of creating.

If you do not have any ambition to showcase your own work, then please consider creating works for your chosen charity. You might enjoy the work and at the same time your efforts could make a difference. It will be good if all those who do want to promote their work can make a voluntary donation to a charity, but this is totally up to you.
