Greetings from the Texas Society of Mayflower Descendants:

Dear Members of the Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of Texas,

It gives me great pleasure to send you this letter and to let you know that the work of the Society in the great state of Texas is well and thriving. If you did not attend the conference held in San Antonio, you missed a real treat. The San Antonio Colony did a fine job in hosting the conference and our Past Governor did an outstanding job in presiding over the conference. It was a real working conference, with a lot of reports from five ad hoc committees and a lot of business that had to be conducted. Thank you, Peggy Jared, for the excellent job in handling all of that work. Also, thanks to Michael Byrne and his committee for all of their efforts to make this a memorable occasion for the attendees.

We have an excellent slate of officers and committee chairmen to carry out the duties of our Society for the next two years, 2011-2013. I encourage you to get involved in your local colony and support those who are working at the state level. There's plenty of work for everyone. I am working on getting the committee chairmen and their committees set up and you will hear more about this in the next state newsletter.

I have set up a separate e-mail address to handle all Mayflower correspondence. I felt this would make it easier to manage and my new address is bullardbelle1937@hotmail.com. Please do not hesitate to contact me regarding any questions that you may have about our organization and the work in the State of Texas.

"Happy Trails to You,"

Carolyn McCall,
Governor
Texas Society of Mayflower Descendants
