 Service Commissioner, Damien Burns, is collecting Video Clips and photos of
past Burns Nights and offering them on our webpage as a way of celebrating
Burns, including new videos for the 2021 Virtual Burns Gala. If you have good
  quality photos from past Burns Nights please send them to Damien Burns.
 This will be a night to remember! Warm up your Haggis, Tatties and Neeps

                     Information For Our New Members
Welcome to our new members. Coming into a new group can be a little scary, but know that if you have any questions,
just ask. The people in the SSL are some of the friendliest you would ever want to meet. Here is a little bit of
information to get you started:

   Read the newsletter and the website. All upcoming events will be listed both places. If you want more information,
    you can contact any of the board members. Their information is found on page 2 of this newsletter.
   All meetings will have a business meeting, some time to socialize, and a program.
   January/February brings our Burns Night Dinner. You won’t want to miss that. There will be food, drink, raffles,
    entertainment, and an all-around good time.
   May starts our “Event” season. The Society sets up a booth at many local and state Scottish and Celtic events, and
    even a couple of out-of-state events. Don’t be afraid. Jump on in and help us in our booth. It’s not hard, and
    everyone will help. It is a great way to get to know some of the members and recruit new members.
   November is a really fun meeting. We have a dinner and an auction. Members will be informed of what type of dish
    to bring according to last name. The auction is so much fun. Everyone is asked to bring at least one item, if they
    wish, to donate. Now, you will find that a lot of the items are things you would love to have, but some of them …
    well, you just have to be there to appreciate it. Proceeds benefit the Heritage Fund, which helps promote the Celtic-
    related “studies” by individuals.
   In December, we do not have a meeting.

We hope that you will attend as many meetings as possible (hopefully all of them). We are so happy to have you as a
part of the group.

                                           Heritage Fund
                       The Heritage Fund Committee is accepting applications for the dispersal of scholarship funds.
                       The Fund helps support the efforts of SSL members to pursue studies of the many different
                       aspects of Celtic culture, which may include music (piping, drumming, fiddling, etc.), art
                       (dancing, weaving, etc.), language (Gaelic, etc.) and athletics (Highland games).
                       This Fund can also support a person’s interest in an educational program or project that
                       furthers the understanding of Scottish culture and history.

                       Scottish Society members in good standing can apply for funds or can sponsor non-members
