St. Andrew's Society

of Atlanta

Membership to the St. Andrew's Society of Atlanta is possible to people of direct Scottish ancestry. Meetings and events are held throughout the year in various parts of town. At our business meetings and events, we encourage and welcome traditional Scottish dress and often partake in Scottish dance, music and literature. The society is always looking for new members and we welcome you to visit us at a meeting or event.

To be eligable for membership, a candidate must be sponsored by a current member of the society, attend three functions within a twelve-month period, and have their name published at least twice in the newsletter prior to election. Both prospective members and their sponsors much be present at the Business Meeting to be voted upon. It is the sponsor's responsibility to track prospective members' progress and inform them of events.

Should you already know someone who is a member then please approach them as to becoming your sponsors. That is the easiest way. They should then take it from there inviting you to the various events/meetings.

If you are new in town and know no-one in the society please feel free to contact the corresponding secretary suggesting the meetings/events you would be interested in attending. She/he will then give you the pertinent details. Should you attend the event then there will be ample opportunity for you to meet members of your clan or other people with whom you can bond. That is then the time for you to ask if they will be your sponsors.

Please take a look at our calendar of events and other pages of this site to gain more information about our society. If you are interested in joining the St. Andrew's Society of Atlanta, please email us your name and phone number and we'll contact you right away. You may also contact Elly Groover for more information on membership or to request an application.
