FYI -

Sunday April 06 2014 unless you are across the date line is "NATIONAL TARTAN DAY" in the USA.
You don't have to be Scottish; Irish; a member of a clan or fraternity or even a resident of the USA to
celebrate this not so promoted 'Holiday' of sorts.
Think of it as an extension of St. Pat's day only you don't have to wear the obligatory 'Green' or even
be green with envy.
Just get out and about and have a good time !

The National Holiday for All Scottish-Americans

"Americans of Scottish descent have played a vibrant and influential role in
the development of the United States. From the framers of the Declaration
of Independence to the first man on the moon, Scottish-Americans have
contributed mightily to the fields of the arts, science, politics, law, and more.
Today, over eleven million Americans claim Scottish and Scotch-Irish
roots -- making them the eighth largest ethnic group in the United States.
These are the people and accomplishments that are honored on
National Tartan Day, April 6th."
