XMAS MESSAGE FROM LADY SALTOUN
Once again Xmas and the New Year approach, with increasing speed every year, and I am anything but ready for them. 2011 has not been a very good year in this part of the world, or, indeed in many parts of the world, so we must hope for better things in 2012.
With that in mind, I wish you all a happy Christmas, and a happy and prosperous New Year.
XMAS MESSAGE FROM OUR COMMISSIONER
Greetings to all.
Another year is galloping to its end, with this the final edition of “Strawberry Leaves” for 2011. It has been an eventful year for our Society, with not all events being happy ones. Since becoming Commissioner, I’ve represented the Clan on various occasions and promoted it wherever I can. We can all represent our Clan by wearing the Fraser tartan wherever appropriate. We can also look out for others wearing it and make ourselves known to them. Perhaps we could make a New Year resolution to recruit at least one new member.
Best wishes to you all for a safe and happy Christmas and a successful, prosperous 2012, from your Commissioner,
Don Chitts
