Dear Members & Friends, 
As Summer draws to a close, the American-Scottish Foundation invites our Members & Friends to Mark Your Calendars and join us as we celebrate our Scottish American heritage this Fall. 

Our events are open to both members and non-members of the ASF, unless otherwise stated. All are encouraged to become Members of the Foundation and receive special pricing and notice of special events.

new Membership Program.  Membership will no longer be based on the Calendar Year but on the month of your joining.  We are also introducing the ASF Membership Card for 2016 for easy recognition of our Members and Partners.

Keep up to date on our events and news by visiting our website and following us on Facebook and Twitter where we love to share news of our community.
