The Butterfield Trails Questers No. 949 met at the home of D'Ann Brumett for their March meeting. Brumett presented the program on "The Luck of the Irish." To start the program, Brumett played several Irish songs on the harp. She said the harp is a very old instrument, and it was mentioned in the Bible several times. Most people who play the harp, learn the piano first.
When someone is wished Good Luck, it means wishing them Good Fortune. Many Irish immigrants came to the United States during the gold rush and they became rich in the gold fields and this is how the saying "the luck of the Irish" started. Brumett ended the program with this Irish blessing, "May the good Lord take a liking to you, but not too soon."
The Butterfield Trails Questers welcomed new member Faith Herring.
