On behalf of the Board of the American-Scottish Foundation we invite you to join us in recognizing Claudio Del Vecchio, Chairman and CEO of Brooks Brothers for his personal, and the Company's, historic and continued support of Scotland's heritage industries.

 

We hope that you will join us in honoring Mr Del Vecchio, the work of the Foundation  - and also celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Scotland Week in New York which in the subsequent years grew to be each April a celebration of Scotland's people, culture and heritage - with Tartan Day, April 6th, designated in perpetuity through Presidential proclocmation a day for Scottish recognition and celebration.  

 

The first Scotland Week was held in New York from November 9th - 14th 1974.  Scotland Week was first conceived by the Foundation's then Chairman, Lady Malcolm Douglas-Hamilton.  It will also be the 40th Anniversary of the Wallace Awards' inaugural presentation also made during Scotland Week 1974.
