| The Society |
The Clan Forbes Society is a nonprofit organization founded
in 1979 to honor the heritage of the descendants of the ancient
Clan Forbes of Scotland. The Society is not affiliated with any
other group and is devoted exclusively to the interests of its
members. The Society has received the encouragement of Lord Forbes,
hereditary Chief of Clan Forbes. It is also recognized as a tax
exempt organization by the Internal Revenue Service.
|
| Goals |
The Society's efforts are directed toward historic, educational,
and patriotic activities related to Clan Forbes and its Scottish
foundations. We strive to share the common interests of kinship
as well as collect and preserve the records and artifacts of Forbes
Clansmen. It is our aim to honor our Clan Forbes origins and inspire
among our members and their families the pride and spirit of our
Scottish ancestors.
|
| Participation |
| While we welcome the comradeship of all who have a Scottish
heart, applications for active membership are accepted only from
descendants of a Scottish Forbes ancestor. Both male and female
applicants are equally welcome as active members and each membership
is considered as a family group. The Society may also proffer
honorary memberships to individuals who have been of exceptional
service to Clan Forbes or the Society. |
