Good morning, all! Pat (Davidson) James sent out a query asking how he (she?) could receive the award-winning newsletter (he modestly asserts) published by the Clan Davidson Society USA Inc. Very simple... a membership to the CDS-USA brings the newsletter in one of two optional formats to your door or email box twice a year. The newsletter, entitled The Sporran, has from 30 to 40 pages (or more, sometimes) of articles about Clan Davidson, its membership or items of interest to those with roots in Scotland. Although not exclusively dedicated to the genealogical community, it does contain articles of interest to the genealogist and publishes inquiries. CDS-USA recently appointed John Lisle as its Corresponding Genealogist. The Sporran is distributed as a B&W commercially printed edition or as a full color electronic publication. What is the CDS-USA you ask? CDS-USA is a charitable and educational organization dedicated to maintaining the knowledge and traditions of the Great Scottish Highland Clan Davidson and to pass this knowledge down to our children and those who follow. We have been in existence for 30 years and just recently incorporated in the State of North Carolina. We have members (either individuals or families) in over 400 residences scattered across the entire USA. We sponsor a tent at over 70 Scottish Highland Games providing the membership an opportunity to gather at selected locations in virtually every State in the nation. We maintain close and collegial ties with our sister Clan Davidson organizations in UK, Australia and New Zealand, and with our Clan Chief who resides in New Zealand. Membership in CDS-USA is inexpensive, only $20 per year for either individuals or families residing at the same address. Lifetime memberships are available. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in Clan Davidson and in its perpetuation. To find out more information about CDS-USA check out our website at [www.clandavidsonusa.com]. This site will soon be under construction to update it and bring it up to the standards of the 21st century. If you'd like a free electronic issue of the latest issue of The Sporran, please an email to me at [sennachie@earthlink.net]. Yours, Aye! Dave Chagnon Sennachie & Membership Registrar Clan Davidson Society (USA) PS "Sennachie" is the Scottish Gaelic word for "storyteller", a much more descriptive and evocative term than "newsletter editor"! -------------------------------------------------- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 10, 2010 12:58 AM To: <DAVIDSON-L@rootsweb.com> Subject: Re: [DAVIDSON] Clan Davidson Newsletter > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: patjames92037 > Surnames: > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.davidson/4653.1.1/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > I want to receive this newsletter.
