October 28, 2011 - Scottish Dance Lessons at Moorings Park
The time is at 7:30 pm. Everyone is welcome. Even if you do not have a dance partner, come join the group. There is no charge for this casual event. We have several members who have volunteered to help us learn these dances. Lead instructor is Gillian Carney. Check out her website: https://sites.google.com/site/carneygillian/

October 30, 2011 - Kirkin' O' Tartans at First Presbyterian Church, Naples
664 Third Avenue South. Time 9:30 but please arrive by 9 to participate. Contact Kirkin’ Chair, Dave Wallace, dave@cbre-ftmyers.com with questions.

If you're not familiar with the history of the Kirkin, be sure to click on the links at left under the heading, HISTORY & TRADITION. The first link on the menu at left gives a short history of the Kirkin, and the second is a very moving video - the Processional featuring Ode To Joy played by the pipers.
