Jim McDaniel starts off the dinner by piping in the haggis

Virginia Commissioner Bill Yoder is ready for any Campbells who might try and sneak in :-)

Jeff Davis performs the ritual stabbing of the haggis as he reads Burns

Jim passes his "payment" - which was a little too much scotch on this occasion

Bill isn't sure that he should pass the cup onto Jeff

Gary and Stan (on left) finish off the payment for a job well done

Still time to converse before dinner

Forrest Lee talks with guests from North Carolina (of left)

The dinner is truly a lively, social event for all members and guests

Clan Donald USA High Commissioner, Forrest Lee Piver, addresses Clan members and guests

Forrest is a past Va and Mid-East Commissioner, but will soon be moving to NC so we will claim him while we can

Stan provides directions for the next phase of the evening - the Sheraton Suites bar

Changing venues

Time for good conversation

and lots of fun

The last of the crowd - the High Commissioner, Va State and Deputy Commssioners, a past Va Commissioner, the Mid-East webmaster, and two very understanding spouses
