For those of you involved in Caledonian, St. Andrew, Scottish societies or something similar... How active are you in the organization? What kinds of activities and sub-groups does the group sponsor? Anything out of the ordinary Burns Suppers and pipe bands and things of that ilk?
What kind of participation from the general membership is there and what's the most effective way to get it in your experience?
Also, what are the requirements to join? (i.e. Scottish heritage, dues, member sponsorship, etc.)

I ask because I'd like to know what other groups are doing and if there is anything our society ought to be doing that we're not.
