President David McBee asked if I could provide another update on openings for volunteering with the Society.

When the 55th Annual Games came to a close, we began looking to replace several key positions that had been staffed by long-time Area Chairs who would like some time off.

• Athletic Director – We are pleased to announce that Tim Timm will be the Athletic Director for 2020. Tim is an athlete himself and also runs the Rio Salado Scottish Heavy Athletics group. Thanks go to Michele Crownhart for her many years in this position.
• Clans Chair – Mark Pelletier is stepping down after 12 years of running the Clans Area, but will assist his replacement with the 2020 planning process
• Pipe Band Chair – Since Alasdair Martin has accepted a job transfer to the east coast a new Chair is needed. Being an active or recently retired member of a Pipe & Drum band is a prerequisite.

The Society is also looking to fill the following positions:

• Treasurer – We’re actively looking for a volunteer that has accounting or book-keeping experience, and is familiar with ‘QuickBooks for Nonprofits’.
• Social Committee Chair(s) – the perfect job for two people to work as co-chairs on our regular Gatherings, and special events such as the Burns Supper, and Tartan Day

For all these open positions - please contact David McBee if you, or someone you know is interested: president@arizona.scot

Mark your calendars for the following upcoming events:

Cheers!
Don
