That is so good to hear. I am the Vice-President of St. Andrew's of Mid-Maryland. We also let anyone who has the money for either associate member or full voting in. If you are not Scottish or of Celtic ancestory somewhere, we will make you. It usually involves a bit of alcohol.
Same here, David. You know that when an English officer was seconded to any of the Scottish Regiments, he was usually made to down a thistle in a glass of whisky to "make him a Scotsman" -- ouch! I don't think any of our new members would go for that! :mrgreen:

One couple, who are some of our most active & dependable members, really doesn't have a lot of Scottish heritage at all -- his is German Lutheran from Nebraska, hers is Cherokee Indian (and there might be some Scot in that) -- but they are big Robert Burns buffs.

Cheers,
