Southern Oregon Rabble?

I see many in the bay area, San Joaquin Valley and southern CA but the closest area to me would be Redding and that's about 150 miles south (certainly close enough).

For your perusal:

There are several Scottish/Caledonian/St. Andrew's societies in Oregon listed on this web site.

Slainte,

Thanks, Todd. I've been there a couple of times and, unfortunately, the site isn't up to date and contains very little useful info. Perhaps someone will get to it soon.

I've also looked at (Council of Scottish Clans and Associations) and SAAA (Scottish American Athletic Association) and contacted them to see what I may need to do to get something going for southern Oregon.

Umm...the web site has links to several Scottish societies in Oregon. Have you contacted one of them for a list of current events?

That was really my point of mentioning the site -- networking.

And I do appreciate it! If I sounded as if I didn't, I apologize, that certainly was not my intent (though as I look back on that post I can see what you mean). I would love to find fellow Scots here in our neighborhood so we can have gatherings, etc., and celebrate our heritage.

I have sent a couple of emails to the Douglas County Scottish Society asking for any info they may have concerning southern Oregon and the Oregon Scottish Society for what I may need to do to get things rolling here with their help. To date I have received no answers yet (they may be waiting for my membership to become active) but I remain optimistic!

Again, my sincerest apologies for behaving like the south end of a northbound donkey.
