A Message from the President
Chris Ferguson is the new Webmaster of the cfsna.net website. The transition from Paul and Colin is, as you read this, taking place or may have been completed by the time you read this. Both Paul and Colin had expressed their desire, to me, to be relieved of the task. Christopher Charles “Chris” Ferguson is the son of William C. Ferguson, Treasurer, CFSNA. Chris works in the computer field and
is well qualified to serve Clan Fergusson as Webmaster.
CLAN FERGUSSON SOCIETY OF NORTH AMERICA will hold our 2010 AGM in Memphis Tennessee in concert with CLANJAMFRY. In August 2011 the AGM will be at the FERGUS SCOTTISH FESTIVAL and HIGHLAND GAMES, Fergus, Ontario, Canada. Passports are now required to go to Canada.
A very good way for each of us to participate in membership retention is to meet and visit at the AGM each year. This will generate the desire to visit with long time friends and will help to increase the attendance at the AGM. A well attended and enthusiastic gathering of CFSNA members will also be a very positive tool in membership recruitment and retention.
Is everyone informing quartermaster David L. Fergusson of items they have and items they are aware of that should be included in the inventory of Clan Fergusson stuff. David is cataloging all of CFSNA stuff and will be keeping track of where everything is and who has the stuff at any point in time. Everybody needs to furnish David the information about the stuff you have so he can keep track of it. Please help get all CFSNA stuff cataloged, David L. 865-368-5344 or email
davidferguson368@charter.net.
A Publication committee will become a reality in the near future. If you have thoughts, concerns or comments on or this or any subject please contact me. Send me an e-mail, call me or if you wish write me a letter. A Publication Trust will be set up this year and the Publication Committee will have the responsibility and duty of all publication matters including the Publication Trust. The Committee may look into editing and compiling past issues of TBL and binding said edited
compilation in a hardbound “Coffee Table” style (format) book.
Obituary information and address change(s) should immediately be sent to Clan Fergusson Secretary B.J. Ferguson. Timely submission of death information will help in accurate and proper reporting of the incident. Quick response to both postal and email address changes will facilitate you receiving your upcoming issue of The Bee Line and the e-newsletter and a positive step in membership retention. Thank you for your consideration and cooperation.
Yours aye,
Rupert H. Furgerson II
