A few words for those who have not yet attended an Annual General Meeting …

An AGM is an opportunity to meet new fellow Hays and renew old friendships. Emails, phone calls, and the Journal are great BUT there is nothing like sitting down with old friends and sharing a wee dram (or two, or three, or four, or five). Among all Scots, we Hays seem to be a unique breed.

Everything is coming together for an exciting jam-packed weekend. Friday will set the pace with a Council Meeting (open to everyone) and a workshop on Genealogy. For dinner, many of us will head to a nearby restaurant, followed by an evening of fellowship at our Hospitality Suite in the Little America.

Saturday starts early with breakfast with the President and then off to the Games. Plan carefully so you can participate in the AGM meeting, be there for the group photo, and see all the sights. Saturday evening is the ever-popular Clan Dinner back at the Little America followed by another evening with your old and new friends in the Hospitality Suite.

Sunday will cap the weekend in style. Enjoy an early breakfast with our Vice President to speak directly to the Clan Council. At 9 am, we will assemble to lay a memorial wreath in honor of our nation’s veterans. Many of us will return to the games and finish out the games at their closing ceremonies at 4:00 pm.

Visit our website (www.clanhay.com) to register for the AGM and banquet and to get the latest information on the weekend’s events.

See you in Utah.
