08-26-08 1 Year Anniversary Meeting

**sirdaniel1975** · 26th August 08, 08:44 PM

Well folks, our club had a very nice dinner this evening to mark our group as 1 year old. We're the Jacobites: Scots-Irish Club of Lakeland, Fl. Our club is getting much more organized by the minute these past few weeks. We have nominated our officers and some are going to be voted on at a business meeting in two weeks. We're close to setting a "Yearly Dues" and opening a non-profit account... Plus much more in the works as well.

Here's some picks of our meeting this evening:

The club minus a couple of folks including myself.

Us gents... The other 2 kilted gents are X-markers... "Celtic Cowboy" & "gmacman"

Do I get points for recruitment? j/k

The lasses...

Will do... I advertised this weeks ago in the Kilt Nights section, but no one noticed or they didn't comment.

Our business meeting is next.. which is for officers. The next actual meeting should land on Sept 30th a Tuesday night. It will either be at my residence, or hopefully we're going to try to book the library. They have a meeting room which is free to use for the public. They have free wireless internet access and of course plenty of other research materials...

Based on your story and pictures your off to a good start. I would advise you to make sure you kilt, belt and sporran are centered if you want to make a good impression. And if your kilt has been sized properly your should insure that it is pulled up to your "true" waist, as it seems to be hanging a bit low. I'm not trying to rain on you parade, but trying to help you out with some friendly advice. Nobody likes to be the one to tell you something is hanging from you nose, but it has to be done, and we should be thankful someone does it.

Yikes-everything was off center on me at least on the top pics. I had *just* gotten out of the car so perhaps something got twisted around while I was driving. Lesson learned. Thanks for pointing that out.
