The Scottish Memorial Monument Fund
The Scottish Memorial Monument
Members and friends of the St. Andrew's Society of Baltimore are invited to make tax deductible contributions to the St. Andrew's Society of Baltimore Foundation between now and March 31, 2009 to support the construction and perpetual maintenance of a national monument in Philadelphia, PA which will commemorate the thousands of immigrants from Scotland to the United States.
Contributions to the St. Andrew's Society of Baltimore Foundation will be pooled together and, along with contributions from St. Andrew's Societies and Scots across America, will be used to build and maintain The Scottish Memorial Monument, designed and sculpted by noted Philadelphia sculptor Terry Jones, a fellow Scot. The works of Terry Jones can be seen at the Gettysburg Battlefield, the Marine Corps Barracks in Washington, DC, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, among other sites.
Throughout our nation, countless monuments have been erected to the many ethnic groups who have played important roles in United States history. To date, there is no such recognition of Scottish immigrants as a group, who, with their education and talents contributed so much to the foundation and growth of our great country.
Located in a professionally landscaped setting between Chestnut and Sansom Streets, Philadelphia, near the site of the Tun Tavern where the St. Andrew's Society of Philadelphia was founded in 1747, the Monument will be adjacent to the existing Irish monument. Designed by renowned landscape architect Laurie Dewar Olin, who is of Scottish decent, the setting will include Scottish plants together with standing stones and a cairn intended to reflect the ancient Celtic heritage of Scots and to acknowledge the many contributions made by the community of donors. For additional information and to view sketches of the proposed Monument, you are invited to click The Scottish Memorial Monument Flyer.
Between now and March 31, 2009, the St. Andrew's Society of Baltimore will be seeking pledges and contributions payable to the "St. Andrew's Society of Baltimore Foundation" to help fund The Scottish Memorial Monument. We are seeking a high participation level amongst our members and friends. For information on how you can pledge and participate with others from our Society, please click The Scottish Memorial Monument Fund Pledge Form to download a Pledge Form for your use.
Dedication of the Scottish Memorial Monument is scheduled for Tartan Day, 2010.
Thank you for your participation in memory of our Scottish ancestors.
