Tu Re’
(across from the old Citibank bldg. and Burger King in Tamuning)
May your heart be light and happy,
May your smile be big and wide,
And may your pockets always have
a coin or two inside!

A ST. PADDY’S DAY MEET & GREET
Here’s a great chance to meet others in the local caching community. Everyone wants to know the face behind the caching name we see on log posts.
Join us for a bit of food and fun and come prepared for a rousing game of Hobin’s Dice. You’ll need 6 coins or pieces of SWAG or any items of interest to geocachers. The game is typically played with coins, but this version is especially for geocachers. All ages are welcome to join in the fun! The game will start at approximately 6:30 PM . . . before and after the game you have time to participate in some cacher chat and enjoy some eats and drinks!
According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, Saint Patrick’s Day, feast day (March 17) of St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland. Born in Roman Britain in the late 4th century, he was kidnapped at the age of 16 and taken to Ireland as a slave. He escaped but returned about 432 to convert the Irish to Christianity. By the time of his death on March 17, 461, he had established monasteries, churches, and schools. Many legends grew up around him—for example, that he drove the snakes out of Ireland and used the shamrock to explain the Trinity. Ireland came to celebrate his day with religious services and feasts.
