President's Greeting
A few months ago when we launched Clan MacLennan USA, I asked you all
to pause and reflect
"...on the fact that we have much work to do. The
organization is like a tiny acorn right now - fragile, clinging to
life. Jennifer, Colleen and I will be trying to nurture and solidly
establish the core operation. We are high energy people who have
committed to this project. But we can't do it alone. So, it shouldn't
be a surprise that we are asking for your help."
And help you did!
We've had our first elections. The By Laws are in effect.
I had no less than 10 Proxies from those who wished to be represented
at the meeting.
We've been able to fill 6 of the 7 Executive Committee positions. And
the Executive is presently recruiting so that we can make an
appointment to fill the seventh and final position. I can hardly find
words to express how gratified I feel that we will start our first full
year with a full slate. Seven of us to help each other nurture the
organization.
AND, we already have volunteers to be considered for at least some of
the Chairperson positions / appointments. We'll consider the whole
slate and get those appointments made very soon so that they can get on
with their jobs. Just above this report is a list of the positions I
think we need to fill, but the Executive will make the final decision.
Please let any of the Executive know if you or someone you know should
be considered.
In addition to our usual activities, there is a Gathering of Clans
coming up in July 2009 in Edinburgh. This event has major Scottish
government backing and the active support of the Council of Clan
Chiefs, including our own Chief Ruairidh. We'll be identifying
individuals who are interested in attending this gathering, and
ensuring that we keep everyone informed.
Ann and I will be in Australia for about a month early in 2008 and look
forward to visiting with some of the Australian clan members, including
Max and Mary McLennan of Melbourne. We'll bring back news of the
planned Australian participation, which will undoubtedly be
extensive.
Sincerely,
David Jones

A very short greeting this time... Ann and I were away for a
month. ANd we're still getting back into the groove and caught up with
Clan and other matters.
But, we did have a chance to meet some wonderful Australian Clan
members - read about it and see some pictures in my report "Meet Some Australians".
