Join us for our next Zoom meeting on Thursday 15 April for an evening that will get your brain cells working and keep you up to date on Scottish-related activities in the Valley as we gradually emerge from lockdown.

The first half of the meeting will be a quiz to test your knowledge of both Scotland and Arizona. So. bring a partner, remember two brains are better than one. There will be prizes for the top competitors, and perhaps even a special prize for the person who can best pronounce the Scottish place name Milngavie.

The pipers, dancers, athletes, musicians and others who normally delight us at our Scottish Games are also starting to plan events, so they will be given a platform to explain where and when you can them.

NOTE: Those who sign up for the Event will be sent the Zoom link through our Facebook Event, or the Caledonian Society Email List.
