The Countdown Is On! Scotland-Tartan Week is fast approaching and along with it, the celebration of Tartan Day's 15th Anniversary as well as the 15th Annual New York Tartan Day Parade, the crowning element of what is now a two-week plus calendar of events!
If you haven't marched or participated in the parade before, you need to do so! Register here. You can join your Clan, Organization or Society, or if you are a piper, and your band is not playing, you can join the Mass Band that will be marching. And we cannot forget the Scotties and Westies (see our favorites further down this email)!
Kind Regards,
Camilla G. Hellman, MBE - Director of Development
