May Saltire is now available

The St. Andrew Society of Sarasota, Inc., was first organized on March 26, 1979. The purposes of the Society are to provide social and cultural activities relating to Scottish heritage, with special emphasis on recognizing Sarasota's settlement by the Scots, and to encourage close relations with other Scottish societies in Sarasota County, in the United States and in Scotland. Our members have an opportunity for fellowship with their fellow Scots in several annual functions: Tartan Ball-November, Christmas Luncheon-December, Burns Supper-January and Tartan Day Celebration-April. Listed below are some of the upcoming events:

• May 28, 2012
  In May a Memorial Day Ceremony in Arcadia honoring
  the 23 Pilot Trainees from England, Scotland and
  Wales who were killed while training in Arcadia
  during World War II.
• November 17th, 2012
  Tartan Ball at Heritage Oaks Country Club. Entertainment provided by the McIlroys who have played at the Sarasota Highland Games. They now live in Tallahassee but are originally from Edinburgh, Scotland. It should be a great night!
