June Bell Freeman has been promoting Clan Bell in this part of the world since 1986 when she founded CLAN BELL, Australia & New Zealand. Well established in these two English speaking countries, CLAN BELL, Australia & New Zealand is a non-profit organization of Scottish/English Border descendants of the Family/Clan BELL (with some members being taken forcibly to Ireland during Cromwellian times). Its main objective is to help educate BELLS on the history of the Clan and assist its members in connecting up with other branches of their families. In this area, the organization has been most successful.
Current dues are $20 Aus. per annum payable at time of joining and thereafter at the first month of the fiscal year. Dues cover annual subscription, printing and postage of the "Carillon" newsletter. The Carillon (which means a chiming of BELLS) is published three times a year.
