Saturday,
April 14, 2007 — 6 pm at Assembly Inn, Montreat
The Montreat Scottish Society will kick off

Inn in Montreat.
The Inn will be turned into a Scottish
castle for the evening black-tie or formal scottish attire event.
Click to printout a registration
form (pdf file) for the Scottish Gala. A separate invitation
will be mailed to members who are current in their dues. The cost
for the Gala is $70 per person for members; $90 per person for
non-members.
Because of limited seating, the sooner you
send your reservation in with your check will help insure that you
will be a part of this event. Also, please send in the names of the
attendees so that we can properly prepare nametags and seating
cards. The event paid reservations are first-come, up to available
space limitation of 200 people.
The formal black-tie or Scottish attire
affair has sold out quickly for the three previous functions.
You can check the mailing label on your MSS
newsletter to see if you are up-to-date on your Society dues. An
“06” near your name on the label indicates that your dues are
paid through 2006. If you are not current with your dues (i.e., no
year on the label), then please remit your dues ($25 a couple; $15
individual) with your payment for the Gala.
The Gala will open with a 6 p.m. reception.
There will be a silent auction during the reception period featuring
fine wines, Scottish foods, glassware, and much more! The Gala
dinner will start at 7 p.m. and will feature Beef Abernethy —
i.e., Beef Wellington Fillet.
The evening’s program will feature Doug and Darcy Orr with a
unique musical presentation about the connection between the music
of Scotland and Appalachia. The Orr’s are in the research phase of
a new book, tentatively titled Wayfaring Strangers, based on the
same theme as their presentation. The book is being planned with
NPR’s host of The Shamrock & Thistle, Fiona Ritchie. Darcy
will edit the book, while Doug and Fiona are co-authors. Doug
retired last year as president of Warren Wilson College.
