| Start Join Charter Members Gathering Plans Contact us |
There is a long tradition in Washington.....We have had a Chapter of the California Branch of Clan MacMillan for many years. Sadly, the President of that Chapter Careen McMillian Faubus passed away in 2007 and it seemed time to begin anew to provide for the community of M'Ms in our state. Starting with only a short
list of current and former Chapter members, the effort to rebuild
began, first obtaining the appointment by Chief George MacMillan of
MacMillan and Knap of Adhaniá Olson as Convener. This set the stage for the new organization, with the blessings of the California Branch. For the foreseeable future, organization activities will be done by presenting a Clan MacMillan tent at each of the Washington Scottish Highland Games. This will be augmented by mailings at various times throughout the year and by this website, which has already been successful for attracting and enrolling new Charter Members. Any person who joins before the Inaugural Annual General Meeting (IAGM) of 2008 is a Charter Member and deserving of our deep gratitude for helping us do the "heavy lifting" needed to get this Branch up and running. The IAGM will take place shortly after 2:00 PM on Saturday August 9, 2008 at McCormick Park in Duvall, WA. You may come early and join that day, if you wish. We're glad to have you!Those who join after August 9, 2008 will be regular members, enjoying all the benefits of membership except the designation "Charter Member" and the display of their name here on our website. So join before August 9, if at all possible! Look for our tartans, banners and Clan tent at your local Scottish Highland Games. Come on by and let's "count kin"! Pick up a newsletter, take a load off your feet and enjoy a bottle of cold water. Join your clan as it parades proudly among the other honorable Clans of Scotland. It's your heritage; enjoy it! |
