(Don) Don Moore, (Robert Lamb) Robert Lamb and (Oldhiker) myself have been kicking around ideas this winter about how to get a bunch of Kilties together and sponsor a charitable event at the same time. See what you think of this idea below, give us your comments and who would be interested in participating.

Enjoy the company of kilted brethren and raise some money for the Kilfinan Church burial vault restoration project located on the Cowal peninsula in Scotland.
When: Sunday May 31th 2008
Where: Tacoma, WA
Tour revitalized Downtown Tacoma for a 5K walk

We would ask that you solicit pledges for the completed walk.

100% of the funds raised will be sent to Friends of Kilfinan Parish Church for use in the Lamont Clan burial vault restoration project. This 13th century church of St Finan located on the Cowal peninsula on west coast of Scotland has some of the best preserved ancient burial stones in western Scotland.
