What We Do
The Scottish Club of Tulsa meets monthly on the first Saturday of each month (except legal holidays and summer months) beginning at 6 p.m. at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church located at 3601 S. Yale Avenue. The meeting includes a pot luck supper with the club providing the main meat dish. Club members pay a small fee at the door to defray cost of the facility and entertainment. The evening's program might include Scottish folk singing, piping, dancing, poetry, slides or videos on Scotland, history, or all of these and more.
Members of the club participate in community events whenever such visibility would promote Scottish heritage and interest potential members. SCOT is represented on the advisory panel of the Tulsa Performing Arts Center Trust's Celtic Music Series, which features internationally known musical artists. The Club also sponsors and holds events such as picnics, fundraisers, golf tournaments and other specialty events based on member interests. Annual dues are $15 for individuals, and $20 for family or spousal couple memberships.
