You can visit the society's website at http://www.hrsstn.org Anyone interested? Speak up!
Just giving this a bump. There is still time to place an order. The entertainment line up is extensive. We will have a fiddler, a harpist, dancers, and many pipers. There will be a silent auction for various Scottish goods. You will be getting a lot of value for the $35 ticket price. I found out last night that the Chattanooga Burns Dinner copied a lot of what we did last year. The dinner is held at the Coffee County Conference Center in Manchester, right off I-24 exit 114. It is attached to the Holiday Inn Express. Let me know if you are interested. Dress has always been "come as you can". There is no expectation of black tie. So if you don't have a black tie outfit, don't worry about it.
