Homecoming and The Worldwide Toast to Robert Burns
Greetings from Falkirk
Please can you help us in our quest for the Worldwide Toast to Robert Burns!
As proud and passionate Scots we have decided in this Homecoming Scotland Year to co-ordinate a Worldwide Toast for the Bard.
How to take part can be seen at this link: http://www.worldwidetoasttorobertbu...
Perhaps you could ask the supporters at your next Home Match to raises an Irn Bru or Bovril in a Toast to ‘The Immortal Memory of Robert Burns’ and join the worldwide total celebrating the Bards’ 250th Anniversary and the start of our Homecoming Year and then follow the links below to add the numbers to the total? It would be great if you could also ask people who are attending Burns Suppers to also log-in and add their numbers!
Taking part in the Toast is easy:
1. All we ask if for groups, large or small, to gather together.
2. Raise a glass in a toast to “The Immortal Memory of Robert Burns.”
3. Count the number of people 'Toasting'
4. Log on and complete a simple on-line form to record your toast details so that your numbers can be counted as part of the worldwide total.
It would be great if you could send us pictures and video clips for us to show on the website. Thank you!
Counting has already started with the Sons of Scotland in Canada and The Caledonia Society of Alabama already adding their numbers to the worldwide total.
We are also fundraising for the new Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Alloway. Shonaig Macpherson, Chairman of the NTS, referred to the campaign as “an exciting project” and the thrilling yet simple ‘Donate a Pound Campaign’ will give the opportunity for all corners of the globe to contribute a single pound so that everyone can help to ‘give something back to Burns.’
I hope that you can join in and encourage others also to make this the best celebration of Burns in History!!
