Dear Cousins: The AGM 2011 in Las Vegas was well attended.  We accomplished a lot of business and we had a good time. You will read more about it soon in the Dean Road. The Membership voted unanimously to hold our 2012 Annual General Meeting and Gathering of the Clan at the Sacramento Caledonian Club's 136th annual Sacramento Valley Scottish Games & Festival in April 2012. This event is held in Woodland, California, at the Yolo County Fairgrounds. The Sacramento International Airport is nearby. Motel accommodations in Woodland are reasonable. The date is yet to be confirmed. However, historically, it is the 4th or last weekend in April. It will not interfere with Easter as Easter falls on th 8th of April in 2012. Mike has expressed interest in attending the AGM again next year. We shall see how his plans develop over this coming year. If you are interested in helping with this event, please contact anyone on the Executive Board. Yours Aye, Lauren Lauren Boyd McLachlan President, Chair of the Executive Board House of Boyd Society http://www.clanboyd.org president@clanboyd.org

Yes I will be coming to the AGM at Woodlands in April 2012. I will wait for a few months before I start the process of working out where I will go after the AGM for a few weeks to talk to Boyd members. So hopefully I can do another "region" of the USA or Canada.
