Dear Cousins: Our time slot for the AGM is from 9:15 a.m. - 11:15 a.m. on SUNDAY. It will be held on the grounds of the Las Vegas Games. The event is supplying some "continental breakfast" type of items for us. The good folk at the event said: "Be sure to let your Clan members know that there's still time to register for the Shortbread baking contest. Details are on our website. Fill out the registration form online, bring it with you, and you can pay your fee at the event up until 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. FYI - to clarify the rules: we're not keeping or publishing recipes. They are only to prove the authenticity of the submissions, and to protect the public and the Games from mishaps due to food allergies. If you submit a separate list of ingredients without quantities that can be verified against the recipe, the recipe can then be returned and we will only need to retain the ingredients list. Be sure that your name, address, and phone number are listed on both the recipe and the ingredients list." Yours Aye, Lauren

List members and those Boyd attending the Games at Las Vegas. Could you bring your thoughts about how the Society can expand or ways to make it expand. Or spread the word that there is a House of Boyd Society working to make the name Boyd known to its descendants. Plus how we can expand the Clan Boyd Pyramid. Hopefully, I can talk to those attending about becoming a State Historian for your State or part of the State, as a means to find known Boyd families or to contact researchers about their Boyd branches on other named or location Net groups. I assume that Lauren will want to also talk to people attending about becoming State Convenors or representing the Society at your home Highland Games. Or taking up some of the other volunteer roles within the Society Thank you Mike Boyd ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lauren Boyd McLachlan" <confido@gmail.com> To: "Boyd List" <Boyd@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, April 08, 2011 3:55 PM Subject: [BOYD] House of Boyd AGM 2011: Las Vegas, Nevada, April 15-17: Meeting Sunday morning beginning at 9:15 Dear Cousins: Our time slot for the AGM is from 9:15 a.m. - 11:15 a.m. on SUNDAY.
