April 2015


We hope everyone had a wonderful time celebrating Easter, Dyngus Day, Tartan Day...and are still enjoying Scotland Week! We know we did, and many of our volunteers would like to thank the Rochester Scottish Heritage Society for being a wonderful host during their Tartan Dinner this past Saturday. A great evening as always!

Now we're getting excited for our own Beltane Bash on April 25th. The event is going to be great fun, with wonderful music, food, drinks and much more. See below for details, and get your tickets before they're gone!
