You and your family are cordially invited

to attend the Twin Cities Scottish Club Family Christmas Party, which this year, will be held at the beautiful Commons on Marice, 1380 Marice Drive, in Eagan. We’ll have the bright and sunny Atrium and cozy pub-like Clubhouse for the whole day.

Saturday, December 1st, from 1-6pm

We’ll have things for younger and older kids to do. Plus, there’ll be a (surprise) visit from Santa Claus.

Parents of children attending should bring a wrapped and clearly marked present for their child. (We’ll have a discreet drop off, so the kids don’t see what’s going on.) Of course, adults can gift other adults too, through Santa!

Member participation

Members with last names beginning with A-L are asked to bring a sweet and those beginning with M-Z, a savory treat. TCSC will supply tea and coffee and shortbread.

If anyone needs a lift there, we will help you find a way to get there if you don’t drive, or are coming on your own.

RSVP today to Brooke Kenney at brooke@brotheroke.com
Or, the Facebook event posted on the TCSC group page

We are pushing this event out until the spring, so we can plan a better event. We would still love some help with planning the event!

We are in the planning stages for our next event, which will be an Afternoon Tea. If you would like to help out with the planning, please contact Jennifer Peterson or Katie Shilts.

Thank you to everyone who attended our beach party and picnic!

Join Us for the TCSC Scottish Community Picnic and Beach Party. Bring yourself, friends, children/grandchildren! This is open to everyone Scottish or not. This year the picnic will be back at Bush Lake! There is a large shelter, (so we will have the picnic rain or shine), a playground, sand volleyball  court, and an easy walk to a lovely beach. Activities will begin at 10am; including races, balloon toss, and games for children and adults. There will be prizes for the winners! Enjoy a relaxing lunch at noon (bring your own lunch). Drinks (tea, coffee, water, and soda) will be provided by TCSC along with some shortbread. After lunch we will walk down to enjoy the afternoon on the beach (bring your own lawn chairs and towels). When you arrive, let the staff at the entrance know you are with TCSC, for free admission. We would love to know if you are planning to come. RSVP to Katie: kt@shilts.net, 952-500-1777.
