Hope everyone enjoyedthe holidays. I’m alwaysthankful for the freedomswe have. We are free to enjoy ourholidays, Thanksgiving, Hanukahand Christmas, as we wish.By the time you read this message,may of our Henderson cousins willhave attended the Alexandria, VirginiaChristmas Walk. It was one of themost enjoyable events that I attendedlast year. If I remember correctly,there were 149 units in the parade.The parade winds through Old TownAlexandria. Clan Henderson has aceilidh on that night.As we move into 2006 and thegames and festivals begin, I amlooking forward to seeing old friendsand cousins, and making new friendsand finding new cousins. My favoritething about Clan Henderson is thepeople. I’m planning to travel morenext year.Did you ever think that at oneof the games we could sign up aPresident's Messageby Billy J. Hendersonmember who would provide thelink that you need to trace yourfamily? Clan Genealogist, HoraceLoftin, would be delighted to sendthat information to everyone whoneeded it. Sound far fetched? Everynew member could potentially havegenealogy lines that some of us areresearching.Like the Marine Corps, ClanHenderson is looking for a fewgood men and women. Would youlike to become more involved inthe Clan? If so, call or email yourcommissioner and volunteer tohelp staff a tent or convene one. Or,just ask your commissioner whatyou can do to help. Let him knowabout your special talents or skills.Working together we can makeClan Henderson bigger and better.Let’s step out and get the show onthe road.Yours aye,BillyAnd Talking About Volunteersby Russ Henderson. EditorEdAnCan@aol.comClan Henderson is run by volunteers—from the officers, throughthe commissioners, right down to the convenors and beyond. Andbeyond? You bet!By now you should realize that I am talking about YOU. You joined us!For whatever reason that you became a member or have remained a membermakes a strong statement. We have offered you the opportunity to be aconvenor, or to help a convenor—and maybe you have. But now, you havean opportunity to help the clan in a way to benefit yourself personally.There isn’t a gimmick here. No, not really. We want you to let us knowwhen there is a problem or a question. You recognize that you haven’t seenAn Canach for a long time—tell me. You wrote a check to the society and ithasn’t cleared—tell me. On your most recent visit to the Website, you foundsomething we need to know—tell me. Should you have a story that needs tobe told—tell me that too.
