The Story of the Eire Born Van!
Just before St. Patrick's Day, the Eire Born Irish Dance Society received a remarkable donation: a van to transport sound and lighting gear + the portable floor to Eire Born shows. Thank you Nora for submitting this information about the van donation:
Thanks a million to Ron and Sue, NPIDA parents from Richmond for your incredibly generous donation of our new Eire Born van! With the help from BMW (Ron’s work) this van was overhauled, painted, tuned up and ready for action for our Eire Born shows during March!
This all happened during one special day last month! Just a few short weeks ago, I was rudely interrupted from teaching one of my classes in Richmond by a dance parent and I was asked to go outside the back door of the studio for a minute. Very reluctantly, I listened and then went outside with a very strange and confused look on my face. Lo and behold... a lovely white van was parked in the back driveway to the studio and Vic S was standing by it smiling his face off from ear to ear!! I still felt confused and knew something was up. I just didn’t know what?!?
Then Ron and Sue announced to me that the van was their gift to EBIDS to make it easier for our sound teams to support our dancers with our stage and sound and lighting gear transportation. Pat and Vic praised the heavens that day that someone gave them a really cool van to use for our Eire Born shows! Boy I tell ya... I was in shock and incredibly happy! I was also so grateful that I didn’t “bite anyone’s head off” when I was interrupted during my teaching that night! Something wonderful fell from heaven that day and I would like to say a huge thank you once again to Ron and Sue for all your support with our Eire Born shows! Your donation will be appreciated for many more years to come!
EBIDS and NPIDA would also like to sincerely thank Kali M for her fabulous graphic design/artwork which graces the sides and back of the new Eire Born van. Thank you Kali - it looks amazing!

That is so awesome!! Thank you, Sue and Ron! Excellent design work, Kali! It looks like your perfect 1-2-3. :) I think is very fitting that you had a hand in the gift.
