Hello Members and Friends,,
Wishing you all a very happy St. Patrick’s Day! Some Society members and friends were in the parade on Saturday. Member, Eve Brooks OSG always captures such moments for one and all to see. We appreciate having lasting memories!

Regards, Jeff Craig, Caledonian Society President

A Celebration of Shared Heritage
For many of us, ancestry is a blend of cultures, not solely Scottish. Even Scotland has seen waves of influence over generations—Norse, Irish, Normans, English, and more recently, South Asians. This cultural tapestry has shaped Scotland’s unique identity, much like how historical forces have shaped Ireland’s. Though differences exist, the two Celtic cultures share deep bonds. On this day, we raise a toast to our Irish cousins and . . .
