A Note from Dan—
After the last couple of years, we know that many of our members are more than ready to get back to in-person events. As an organization with a reputation for and history of very strong fellowship amongst members, we could not be more excited to announce SGSNY’s newest event series.
This new, monthly format will be hosted by the Activities Committee, and is intended to create an opportunity for members to meet one another as well as bring friends and colleagues who may also be interested in supporting St. George’s Society of New York by becoming members.
The first of these events will be Wednesday 16th March at The Long Acre Tavern. They will then continue on the third Wednesday of each month.
Please RSVP below, so we know how many people to expect, and be ready for a great time engaging with a community with a common interest in supporting SGSNY’s charitable mission, making lasting friendships and expanding our professional network.
Last but not least, we would like to come up with a fun name for this series so send the SGSNY team your ideas. A prize will be awarded for the winning suggestion.
See you there!
Dan Morris
Board Director & Activities Committee
P.S. We’re looking for volunteers to help us at upcoming SGSNY events. If you would like to help our team, please contact Jessica Sims at hello@stgeorgessociety.org.

What is Pancake Day?
Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is the traditional feast day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. Shrove Tuesday was the last opportunity for people to use up eggs and fats before embarking on their fasting and pancakes are the perfect way of using up these ingredients.
A traditional English pancake is a thin, flat cake, made of batter and fried in a frying pan, served with lemon juice and caster sugar as toppings.
We'll be serving up complimentary traditional English pancakes at our sweetest networking event.
Special thanks to

David McNicoll | SGSNY Resident Mixologist
David McNicoll was born and raised in the Scottish Highlands. David moved to America in 2010, and has represented several Scotch whiskies as Brand Ambassador in New York. As well as whisky, he was also the Market Manager in NYC for Brockmans Gin before moving to work with a local distiller in Jersey City, Corgi. In early 2020 David published his first book on the subject of Scotch, The Language of Whisky, which looks at the individual whisky names and their meaning, and how Scotch fits in with the cultural heritage of Scotland. In addition, he hosts night-classes in the history of Scotland and freelances as a whisky specialist in private tasting sessions across the city.
David retains close connections with friends and family back in Scotland; and returns when he can – especially in the capacity as a member of the last private regiment in Europe, the Atholl Highlanders: a ceremonial guard raised by the Duke of Atholl. He is married to an American lass and has eight-year-old twins to keep him on his toes.
*Winner must be age 21 and over. Arrangements will be made with for pick-up/redemption.
