We're a community of people who come together to celebrate Scottish history, culture, and tradition, and our connections with our Celtic "cousins." If you're interested in Scottish and or Celtic history and tradition, you're more than welcome to join us! Events include traditional celebrations, such as our annual Robert Burns Dinner, Beltane, Tartan Day, Samhain, and St. Andrews Day, and we also support other groups that promote Scottish/Celtic traditions, heritage, and culture. You may find us at the Celtic Festival and Highland Games, hosting an annual Scottish Golf Day, or at Blackhawk Pipes and Drums performances.
It is a great organization of friendly people, and we are always accepting new members. Scottish heritage or ancestry is not required. Please see our membership page, and do join us at an event. Congratulations to our newest board members: Ron Stuart and Jill Yates!
The SAS recently donated $500 to support rebuilding efforts of the Irish Football Club of the Quad Cities, presenting a check at their September 14 home game. The club is interesting in rebuilding rugby in the Quad Cities, which includes Scots and is working on developing youth teams as well. The name was previously registered.
The club previously supported flood relief efforts at the Salvation Army of the Quad Cities. See our Events page for a photo.
Our thanks to members who supported Birdies for Charity, the Scottish Golf Event, and other fundraising efforts.
