CONVENERS REPORT T0 THE MEMBERS 1984 D As our first year of association ends I feel it i; desirable-to summarize our accomplishments for each member.
+ As most of you are aware `we came into existence as the Agnew Association of the USA in April of 1984 after I accepted Sir Crispin Agnew's request to serve as Convener. In November our name was changed to The Agnew Assoication of America in order to provide a family home for those outside the United States who desired to join. Our f irst member from Canada, LAURETTE AGNEW, joined in I)ecember. [Iowever, if at a future date those in Canada wish t:o organize their own association, this possibility is recognized and we would assist them in every way. As of t:he close of 1984 we have sixty (60) members from eighteen states al``d Canada.
The Associatj.on was represented at two Scottish Games during 1984, first the Grandfather Mountain llighland Games, North Carolina in early July and the Virginia Scottish Games, Alexand.ria, Va. in late July. A number of Agnews were found at each and they -were surprised and pleased to find we had our own organization. Next we issued our f irst two newslettters thanlis to our able editor Pat Alexander. We ha.ve received many compliments on these including a request: from the Scottish Internatinal Trust to be placed on the mailj.ng .list. We are deeply endebted to Pat for her efforts. Last, with the assistance of Lois Schj.eck, our secretary, I have completed oiir Consitution which is being submitted to the Internal Revenue Service for approval as a non-profit organization. ------` ------.---- =--` -- Financially we broke even with receipts and expenditures totaling approximately $850 for the year. Our principal expenses were $150 each for registration at the games, $250 for advertising and the newsletters and $300 for printing, reproduction and postage.
We will be sending membership renewal notices in March though the new year of membership does not begin untj.i 01 `July as Lois Schj.eck may be traveling later in the spring and because early renewal will provide us the funds for rgistering f or the 1985 gatherings in the United States . As to the future, we are hopeful many will be able to attend the Gathering in Edinburgh al`d in Ireland in `July I.985 and our tentative hope is to try to arrange a U.S. Gathering in Denver, Colorado for 1986. My very best tc> each of you for 1985, Col. `John P.Agnew, Convener, Agnew Association of America

The first AGNLW tami ly to be ideniTfi. with KILWAUGHTER property was PATRICK AGNEW, who from plantation of Ulster acted as agent for hi.s kinsmen the AGNEWS of LOCHNAW. About 1708 the Scottish branch parted with their County Antri.in lands to AGNEW, then resi.di.ng at KILWAUGHTER, for a small sum, probabl.y from a desi to have ready money requi.red to suppo a style of living more splendid then their l1.ving warranted. And partly it was thought, because of the unsettled state of the c:ountry. October 23. 1951 the owners (not AGNE` E.H.
