Lord Sholto Douglas
E Clampus Vitus Chapter #3
Fall Doins Declared!
The Redshirts descend upon the Divide September 18th – 20th at 6865 Blackhawk Lane in Foresthill. Camping, fellowship, and the usual magnificent absurdity.
That Friday we dedicate a plaque at the Foresthill Catholic Cemetery at 11:03 AM. All are welcome to attend the dedication.
We are accepting donations toward the plaque. Clampers have marked the history of this state for over a century and a half, and the bronze does not pay for itself.
The Widder's Ball
A dual Widder's Ball, hosted jointly by Chapter John A. Sutter #1841 and Chapter Lord Sholto Douglas #3.
Saturday, November 7th, 2026 at the Carmichael Elks Lodge, 5631 Cypress Ave., Carmichael. Doors open at 17:03 and the band strikes up at 18:41.
The rub is $70 a couple or $50 stag. Full bar, cash or card, with an ATM on site.
An evening of fine company and finer absurdity in honor of the Widders and Orphans. Dress better than usual — there are awards for Best-Dressed Widder and Best-Dressed Couple.

The Clamper's Creed
As I pass through life, may I always be humble;
may I never take myself seriously;
may I always appreciate a little of the ridiculous;
may I always be a two-fisted Clamper when the bottle passes my way
and if I imbibe, and can't hold it like a man,
then may I always be able to pass it to the next brother;
may I never forget the stout-hearted men who settled a great western wilderness
and the heritage we have today.
May I never fail to appreciate a bit of western lore.
