January 26, 2013, was the big day for the Robert Burns Society of the Midlands. It was the night of the Annual Burns Dinner, an institution celebrating Scottish heritage and the legacy of the immortal bard Robert Burns. It was a formal dinner complete with haggis. Kilted guests were dressed stylishly in high Scottish fashion. It was a time of spirited singing and dancing, of proud parading with tartan banners, and of sincere toasts to honor our fellows and our traditions. The Palmetto Pipes and Drums paraded smartly and majestically. The auction raised a record amount for the scholarship fund.

Contributions of monies may be mailed directly to our address at the bottom of this web page.  Make checks payable to The Robert Burns Society of the Midlands.  Contributions that are non-financial should primarily be items that can be sold during our Silent Auction fundraisers.
