Caledonian Society of Arizona

[Greg Livingston]

The Caledonian Society of Arizona is having their 46th Annual Arizona Scottish Gathering and Highland Games on February 27th and 28th, 2010. This Gathering will be held in Phoenix and I would like to know if we have any volunteers that would be willing to set up, take down and man a tent for Clan MacLea (Livingstone). I, personally, will not be able to attend this Gathering and don't know if any of our other Clan Officers will attend. We should have at least two people (a couple?) so that you can take breaks and would work best with at least four. Please contact me by PM as soon as possible since the registration will double effective 1 Feb 2010. I do have the forms that will need to be filled out for the tent.

I will normally be posting these requests in a much more timely fashion but this one just jumped right out at me today.

Since registration goes up on Monday for the 46th Annual Arizona Scottish Gathering and Highland Games being held in Phoenix at the end of February and we don't have any volunteers at this time, we will postpone attending this Gathering until next year.

I will personally be attending at least two of the three Gatherings/Games here in Colorado this year and possibly one or two more that are in surrounding states. I will be posting a notice for volunteers at the next Gathering within the next week. I'm looking forward to hearing about your interest in attending.

Thank you.

If something comes up in Oregon that I can be of help with I am happy to do it!

I am also interested in getting to one of the Colorado gatherings so I can meet you all. I am also hunting down a lost great-great grandfather Livingston in CO. so wherever the records are held I am going to try and get there.

Thank you Ginger. I know there are Gatherings, Festivals and Games in Oregon but not sure when and where right now. If you know of one in your area and think you will have potential Clan members attending, please let me know and we can set something up. You can also contact me by private message (PM) here on the board.

There used to be one right here in Bend every August but I have not heard of it in years. I'll look into it.

Hi all,

If you go to this site it will give you dates and areas of Highland Games for the entire U.S. " The Association of Scottish Games & Festivals"

Hi Jewel,

Thank you. I have that site and several more bookmarked that manage to cover all of the Games, Festivals and Gatherings that I have heard about. Right now, for me, it is more about finding where Clan members are and then which festival is near them before asking for volunteers. My original list of events was made based on just which were larger or more well known and just a little on where I knew people lived. For example, Longs Peak Highland Festival and Games in Estes Park, CO is close to both Kyle and me. David is close to a few in Arizona. As I learn where our members live, I will find the nearest event and see who would like to work there to find more members for the Clan Association.

Whew... what have I bit off here and will I be able to chew? LOL

We'll be happy to help you nibble away!
