Might you have a bit of Scottish DNA in your roots? Even if you don’t, you won’t want to miss Kalamazoo’s annual Scottish Festival and Highland Games! This free, family-friendly event has been a staple of Kalamazoo for 34 years!
 
KVGS will participate again this year with a cultural booth to foster interest in genealogical activities. We need approximately 8-10 volunteers to work for 2-3 hours on the day of the event, in teams of 2-3. Will you help? If so, please contact Pam at info@mikvgs.org to add your name and contact information to our volunteer list.
