President and Mrs. Michael Davidson, of North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, will represent Clan Davidson USA, and its affiliates, at the Northeast Florida Scottish Games, as Honored Guests for the year 2008. Michael and Elaine have been active members of their clan since early 1980’s and especially kind people.
In 1995 Michael was elected First Vice President after serving as North Carolina Regional Director. Meanwhile, Elaine was elected Secretary-Treasurer. During that same period of time, Mike was also serving a term as a Director for the Catawba Valley Scottish Society, which is the sponsoring organization of the Loch Norman Highland Games in Huntersville, North Carolina. Later as Secretary for CVSS, Michael chaired several committees including that of Scholarship Awards.
Michael Davidson began his presidency of Clan Davidson in 1999. He endeavors to increase the number of his Clan’s regional directors across the country; and also to increase Clan Davidson presence at games throughout the nation.
His continuing goal is to preserve Clan Davidson history and ancestral heritage of contributions to this great nation, as well as abroad.
Though Clan Davidson USA is a relatively small group, yet it enjoys slow steady upward growth annually. The Davidsons have been loyal supporters here in Jacksonville since our Games’ inception. The NEFL-SGF committee is especially pleased to welcome the Davidsons and septs as our Honored Clan. |
