VIRGINIA TO HOST HOUSE OF GORDON USA 2009 AGM IN RICHMOND! This year's AGM will be held at the Richmond Highland Games and Virginia is excited to host the rest of the USA and show them our famous Southern Hospitality at Ceilidh Corner! Even more exciting -- we will be Honored Clan at the 2009 Richmond Games! Unfortunately, the Chief will be unable to attend as planned due to family reasons, therefore we will honor our men & women of the Wall of Honor as our VIP Guests. The eldest member with military service present will lead the clan in our parade of tartan and the Service Banner will be carried alongside of the Gordon Banner! We are hoping all our members will be at THIS year's Richmond Games, join in the fun and show the rest of the USA how great a group of folks we are!
POTOMAC CELTIC FESTIVAL was a hit with the Gordons! We had fantastic weather and lovely shade for the two day event. Our tent was hopping with guests and filled with good food, fun, fellowship and as usual a bit of tom foolery. Gordy was grounded by Morris, and didn't make it, so no adventures to report, but just you wait! Virginia Scottish is up next! Pictured left, Allison Baker. Read all about Allison's winning exploits at the soccer championship game!
The House of Gordon Virginia has incorporated a WALL OF HONOR at the Gordon Tent honoring our men and women who have served or are currently serving in one of the branches of the armed services. We also have a web version of the Wall called the HALL of HONOR where you will also find a link to send us your information! USA has followed our lead and also has a Wall of Honor online!
We are the families of the Scottish Clan known as the House of Gordon living in Virginia and surrounding Mid-Atlantic States! These families comprise the following:
Those who served in the Gordon Highlanders and their families.
Supporters of the Chief including those who wear the Gordon Tartan with his permission.
All those with a special knowledge and interest in the Gordon history and tradition, who wish to take out a bond of mandate.
What We Do As an organization it is our goal to preserve and educate all who are interested in our Scottish heritage and culture. The House of Gordon has a proud heritage and history in Scotland and throughout the world. The Scottish people have given the world so much from the very foundations of our American freedoms to a myriad of inventions. The Gordons have played a large part in the history and culture of Scotland, America, and many other major countries of the world.
