Clan Donnachaidh Society Northeast Branch
Annual Dinner
April 12, 2008

When the 43 members and guests were seated, our entertainers, Calley McGrane and her father, played in the Haggis and it’s attendants. After Guy Sheldon’s rousing rendition of Robert Burns’ ‘Address to a Haggis’, the tradition of ‘paying’ the participants with a wee dram was completed.   Our meal was Blessed by Dave Duncan and we enjoyed another delicious meal served by the Wachusett Village Inn.  With appetites sated, the competitive bidding began on the numerous items many members donated for auction.  Led by our  auctioneer extrodinaire, Dave Duncan, the group enjoyed several bidding ‘wars’ for favorite items .  The fun was enjoyed by all!  Our entertainment was presented by teenage fiddler and singer, Calley McGrane accompanied by her father on guitar.  The music  was fast paced and toe-tapping!  Calley’s lovely voice and flying fingers combined with the Celtic music made us feel Scotland wasn’t so far away.
Another Clan gathering has lifted our snow-bound spirits and prepared us for a busy games season! 
We wish to thank everyone who donated auction items and everyone who bid on them for our most successful auction to date!
