“Four Generations of membership must mean something! Fellowship, legacy, history, culture, are just some of the words that come to mind when thinking of our family’s long relationship with Chicago Scots. Celebrating at the annual Feast of the Haggis, volunteering at the annual Highland Games & Scottish Festival, toasting the bard at the annual Robbie Burns supper are just some of the many activities that await you as a member of Chicago Scots. Whether you choose our new no-cost annual membership category or choose to continue or start a long line of Life Members, as our family has, there is much for you to enjoy as a member of the Chicago Scots. So, give us a try, you will be glad you did, and so may many generations to come!”
Andy Kerr
Board of Governors
“Joining as a Lifetime Member is one of the ways I can say thank you to Chicago Scots for the excellent care my Mother received when she lived at the Scottish Home. I’m very proud of my Scottish heritage and my late husband, Jamie McKechnie, was proud of his, too. We were married in Scotland, renewed our vows there and attended the Gathering of All the Clans in Edinburgh in 2009. Joining as a Lifetime member in honor of the 175th Anniversary is important to do – for the NEXT 175 years!”
