Special Information
Commissioner Appointments March 2010 To all, I am please to appoint Tony Christian Scott of Baltimore as the Clan Scott Society Commissioner for Maryland. I believe his knowledge, experience, and most important, his enthusiasm will serve the Clan well long into the future. Tony has had the experience of working to learn the job with Patti Carlen when he lived in Central Florida and his predecessor, Russell Scott, in Maryland. Please welcome Tony to as a Clan Scott commissioner. Kelly Scott Davis Chieftain January 2010 To all, It pleases me to announce that I have appointed Ian Scott from
Prince Edward Island to the position of Atlantic Canada Regional
Commissioner with jurisdiction over Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. Ian is a very talented and
intelligent individual. I was very impressed with his contributions to
the Border Gathering Planning Committee. Meeting him in Selkirk
convinced me that he would be an assetto Clan Scott Society. I know
that several of you share this opinion. I wanted to wait until the
first of the year to contact Ian and discuss the possibility of making
this appointment. While his attendance at festivals may be
limited due to several factors, including the number of available
venues and work, pitching a clan tent is not the only way of promoting
the success and growth of our organization. If you get a chance, drop
Ian a line and welcome him to the ranks of our commissioner family. Chieftain Annual General Meeting Information Chieftain Kelly Davis announced that the next AGMs are planned to be held in conjunction to festivals listed below: 2010 - Texas Scottish Festival and Highland Games in Arlington (www.texasscottishfestival.com) Stayed tuned as further information for the 2010 Annual General Meeting as it becomes available. Sir Walter Scott's Connection to the Da Vinci Code Abbotsford, the historic home of Sir Walter Scott, has unexpectedly found itself on the Da Vinci Code trail after fans of the blockbuster discovered its library is a remarkable copy of Rosslyn Chapel. According to Scotsman.com: Jacquie Wright, the administrator at Abbotsford, said yesterday: "We have had a number of people try to make the connection between Sir Walter Scott and the Da Vinci Code. "It's been a very interesting time for us here at Abbotsford. Obviously we've known all along that the ceiling of the library is a detailed representation of Rosslyn, but it's only been in the run-up to the release of the film that people have started to call us and suggest there is a link." Needless to say, tourism is expected to be healthy at Abbotsford this summer. Full story: http://news.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=743422006 AOL, AIM.net, Netscape, and spam
