A special ‘Thanks’ to Clan Kincaid for giving me the opportunity to serve the Clan in the capacity of Secretary. I look forward to working with the Board during my tenure in office. I have some experience serving as secretary in various organizations locally and I hope this experience will help me with this position. It will be my responsibility to keep accurate records of all meetings and to provide for safe keeping all documents that are given to me. I know this will be an enjoyable time to serve. We have gained membership during the past year and I look forward to the Clan increasing membership and activities during the coming year.
