Join a clan?

[macwilkin]

I am the Vice President and Midwest Commissioner (just got the promotion a couple of weeks ago!) of the Clan Cumming Society of the USA. It's nice group to belong to, with the same goal of promoting the family heritage as well as meeting some nice folks with common ancestry and similar interests. I would encourage anyone to join and get involved, as volunteers are always needed to help at games, etc. It's a lot of fun.

Mike made some very valid points, although the Clan Society itself is actually a Scottish idea. The first Clan to have a society (that served as a mutual-aid and benefit society) was the Clan Buchanan Society in 1725. (Thanks to Archangel for the correction!) You'll also find them in other Commonwealth nations, such as Australia (as Mike mentioned), Canada, South Africa, etc.

Cheers,

Todd
