What Is St. Andrew's Day?
St. Andrew's Day is the feast day of Andrew the Apostle and is celebrated every year in Scotland on November 30th. In 1320, St Andrew officially became the patron saint of Scotland when the country's independence was declared with the signing of The Declaration of Arbroath.

A wee bit of humor….

A very Happy Thanksgiving from the Foundation to all!
