Clan Mackay Rocky Mountain Region
Your Nevada
Commissioner,
I joined the Mackay Society in
I have a great deal of history already done for me
and wanted to get to know some of my extended family as well as other people
with an interest in Scotland and all things Scottish.
Since being in the St. Andrew's society I have
been involved with the last two gatherings here in
I also have set up tents for rugby championships, and
anywhere else they will let me.
I will be participating in the gathering here
again this year as well as the one in
Aside from the gathering I am also involved in a
program called "
We have been quite successful and average about
one program per month. I especially like working with the young children, they
are so thirsty for knowledge. Our program deals with a little history and we
cover the tartan and clan system as well as music, dancing, stories and poems.
We have recruited several people in this area to
help with our programs. From time to time, our reenactment group called the
""House of Stewart", puts on a play, where Mary Queen of Scots
tells her story. We also have some wonderful young dancing students and
talented pipers perform. We also use some great people from our society for
stories and poems.
Hope you have enjoyed this article about what is
happening in Las Vegas,
Jan.15th to Feb.15th has been set aside by our
governor, and entered into law, as Scottish Heritage Month. We try to make the
most of it. Hope to meet some or all of you one day.
Thanks and Aye,
