Hello from the road.

I am sorry to have missed most of the October events but the remnants of two hurricanes and a few snowstorms have not stopped me from my rounds. From a triumph at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado to the Stone Mountain Highland Games and my Clan MacBean’s annual gathering in Georgia, I will have spent too many days in the driver’s seat. I hear the Arizona weather has been interesting as well. I hope this finds you all well and safe and a little cooler.

Our November meeting will be our annual members’ meeting this year. We are running a bit behind with all of the activities underway.

Please come out to the RAF Memorial on the 11th at the Mesa City Cemetery, 1212 N Center St, starting at 10:30am and including flyovers from Falcon Field. This memorial service is definitely something to experience as a Scot, Arizonan, and benefactor of this historic community.

As with all volunteer organizations, people’s involvement is always changing. Please speak to one of the Board members about getting involved. The talents and experience that you can bring to the table are truly valuable and needed by this community. Oh, and get your twinkle on! Join in our entry in the Light Parade on December 1. Let’s spread the Scottish spirit. Or should that be spirits? Come join the parade.

Slainte. DAVID
