The Clan MacDuff Society of America and its members have been very fortunate
to receive awards and recognition, and is equally proud to be able to
recognize other deserving individuals. This page is dedicated to all these
special people.
The scholarship award, currently $500., is open to the legal dependents and members of the Clan MacDuff Society of America who are undergraduate or graduate students in college. The scholarship is presented each year at the Annual General Meeting. Congratulations to past recipients!
This award is presented to those members who have served the Clan over many years, often in several capacities. Their dedication and hard work in behalf of the Clan deserves to be recognized. While the individuals named may have held more than one office over the course of their affiliation with the Clan, only their highest or most recent office is listed here.
Regional Conveners are expected to recruit new members, retain existing members, support Clan MacDuff nationally and submit quality articles to the newsletter each quarter. Conveners who have gone far beyond this and have provided outstanding service to the Clan are occasionally recognized.
At the Grandfather Mountain Games in Linville, North Carolina, Clan MacDuff Society of America was awarded the "Clan of Excellence" in 1994, 1996, 1998 and 2000. Clan MacDuff is the only clan to have won the "Clan of Excellence" award more than once at Grandfather Mountain. Along with receiving a nice banner, the award results in the Clan having the honor of leading the Parade of Tartans the following year, and in having the Clan tent in a choice location on the field. Well done, members!
Out of a gathering of about 70 clan tents at the New Hampshire Highland Games, held at Loon Mountain on September 15-17, 2000, Clan MacDuff was selected as the clan with the best tent. A lovely wooden plaque in the shape of New Hampshire, with a brass logo and brass engraved section, was presented during Closing Ceremonies. Congratulations New England MacDuffs!
