clan associations

I just received a letter from Clan Guthrie asking me if I would like to represent the Clan at Highland Games in southern California. I suppose that means manning the booth and all that. I'm not sure that I want to take that step and make work out of attending the games.

Ahhh, but if you do man the tent you should be able to get enough people added to the clan from your area that you won't have to man it next year.

Of course only you can decide how active you want to be. But I see that you are a lifetime memeber. That is a hefty investment into the society. But the only way a society can survive is through membership growth. And about the only way members are gained is through the highland games tents. When I host a clan tent, I do not consider it work. It is fun. Yes there is work involved in getting there and setting up, but the people you meet and friends you make are worth the efforts. And you are actively working to ensure the continued success of the society.

I agree absolutely. I very much enjoy convening on behalf of my primary clan association.
