WISHING YOU ALL A HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR

A Snowy Scene in Ellon 2010

It seems incredible to me that another Christmas is approaching ever faster. Never mind that some of the stores have been preparing for the 25th December for months now. Sometimes in our materialist dominated world we forget that Christmas is about the birth of baby Jesus and not about how big or how many presents we receive.

I hope that you all will have a very joyous Christmas time surrounded by your family and that the New Year will prove to be kind to you in everything you do.

With best wishes,

Alan I Cameron

Membership of Clan Cameron

At the AGM in October, 2009 it was decided that there would be only one rate per household and that was set at £12.00 per year. That is very reasonable in that you get two newsletters, access to a website and the opportunity to attend Clan Cameron events throughout the year. It is therefore good value at only £1.00 per month or 25 pence per week and this covers a family.

If you wish to join, now there is a downloadable application form on the website: www.clancameron.org.uk

Look forward to meeting you in the course of the year.

NEW PRESIDENT FOR CLAN CAMERON ASSOCIATION SCOTLAND

At the AGM in October, the Clan Cameron Association Scotland unanimously elected Duncan Cameron as their new President. Recently, it has been the practice that the President is in that office for 5 years. I trust that you will all give Duncan your support.

As the retiring President, I am only to conscious of the tremendous honour it is to be President and at the same time that it involves a great deal of hard work and commitment.

Our first big event is the memorial service at Culloden on Saturday, 17 April at 11.00. This will be followed by a lunch and talk at the Cawdor Tavern. Details of this event will go out with the Spring Newsletter.
