Message from the New Clan Hope of Craighall President
Dear Clan Hope members,
I am so glad to be speaking to you as the newly installed President of Clan Hope of Craighall. Please allow me to take a moment to recognize our past president's accomplishments. We appreciate the steady devotion and hard work that Marty Hope and his wife Jenny have given to this organization. They have been absolutely instrumental in the very existence of Clan Hope of Craighall. We thank you for your great vision and constant enthusiasm. I would also like to thank our current officers, Hank Hope, Marie Cormier, Marion Hope and Hope Stanley. These folks dedicate a lot of time making sure we run a great organization. Clan Hope could not exist without them. I look forward to working with all of you in the future and look ahead to 2010 with great anticipation.
I share Marty's enthusiasm for growing our membership and sharing our treasured heritage. As president, I feel it's important that we continue to represent Clan Hope at highland games in as many states as possible. I place a high priority on establishing additional commissioners for individual states and wish to expand our leadership role in the southeast region. Our presence at the various Scottish games is vital to us as it is our best tool to grow by and create meaningful relationships with our members. It has been an honor and a lot of fun representing Clan Hope as its Southeast Commissioner and plan on traveling to several new games this year. 2009 has been a great year, with no better highlight than meeting and becoming good friends with so many of my Hope cousins at the Stone Mountain Games.
I look forward to meeting new faces and getting reacquainted with familiar ones in 2010.
Sincerely,
Christine Hope Papp
President of Clan Hope
