May be representative for Celtic cultures

[NewKilt]

Well I went to the park this AM for my usual kilted walk and noticed rather large group of people leaving the pavillion. I started down the pathway when I heard a women yelling Sir! Sir! I turned around and some of the men and women from the group were coming my way. One woman said, "excuse us, but we would like to talk to you." As it turns out, they were the officers of the Jefferson City Multicultural Forum. They are a nonprofit organization that promotes multicultural understanding in the community.

I had a rather lengthy discussion with them about by Scot/Irish ancestory, told them that I wore kilts full-time and why. To make a long story short, they want me to become a member. This would involve talks and presentations to local groups of people from different cultures, businesses, annual events and festivals, etc. I told them I would be more than happy to join them.

That's awesome, anytime you can help educate people is a great thing.

Wow....a chance to ed-u-ma-cate the masses. Seriously, have fun and good luck.

Darrell,

You might also let them know about the Mid-Missouri St. Andrew's Society, which has members in Jefferson City and Columbia. PM me and I can probably get you some contact information for them. I do know that they had some folks at the state capitol this past week for Tartan Day, along with some folks from the Kansas City and St. Louis Scottish communities.

Cheers,

Todd

This begs the question...

Do they want you to join to learn about your ancestry, or to see you in a kilt?

being a group of women, I'd say more of the latter...

NEVER underestimate the power of the kilt...

KT, you don't see this as bad, do you?
