Tartan Day Ceilidh
A good time was had by all! Thanks to Jeanne Rider - Chair of
the Tartan Day Committee Thanks also to the many members
that helped out before, during, and after the event.
Parade of Nations
A small but inspired group of SST members turned out to escort Nessie through the streets of Downtown Norfolk!
Thanks to Larry MacCauley for all of his hard work bringing her there and taking her home …
Plans for next year include a “tail gate” party prior to the parade!
Boardwalk History Festival
Thanks to Russell and Pam Darden, Bob Rider, and many others for their hard work in putting this together
A very successful day, with many opportunities to talk with interested people …
We are always looking for volunteers to set up an SST table at these sorts of events - great publicity for the Society!
Flowers of the Forest
Tessa Cristina Tranchant (1990-2007)
A very special thanks to Rob Lockwood, Rita Hamilton, Tom
Crouch, and Lynnette Fitch Brash for providing their talents and
services
Flowers of the Forest
Hugh Fraser(St. Andrew’s Society of Richmond)
Funeral at St. Stephen’s some time this week …
Update on Edward Brash, Sr.
After quadruple bypass surgery, my Dad is back home, doing fine, and starting to bother my Mom (again)
Thanks to everyone for their tremendous support and kind emails - they really meant a lot to my Dad, and to Lynnette and me, as well!
Operation Scottish Cheer! Many of our members, and/or their
family and close friends are currently deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other dangerous locations
We would like to help bring a little good cheer to their day by sending a “care package” from the SST
Speak with Marcey, Scott MacGregor, or Lynnette about how you can contribute!
Operation Scottish Cheer! instant coffee, beef jerky, cookies, power
bars, canned soup, tuna, etc., razors, “skivvies,” toothpaste, baby wipes,
stamps, batteries, nail files, etc. magazines, newspapers, mini fans, blankets,
puzzles, CDs, etc. Be creative! But remember to avoid things
that could easily melt (like chocolate – unless it’s M&Ms), and to wrap potential messy items in zip lock bags.
