NL #66, March-April, 2011

In this issue of the Bonnes Nouvelles we include an article about the New England Historical and Genealogical Society (NEHGS) and a visit by Cousin Cathy Delano and her cousins to this institution in Boston. Also in this article we find that another U.S. President can claim descent from Philippe de Lanoy. To our chagrin and error we printed a non-updated draft of the Delano to Dillinger article in our last newsletter. We have included the corrected and updated version in this issue. Also we have included updated information about the 2011 Annual Meeting and Reunion in Historic Stillwater Minnesota on 17 and 18 June. It should be an interesting Reunion and offers an additional event of an evening dinner cruise on the St. Croix River the evening of the 16th, before reunion festivities begin. At the reunion we will hold our Annual Charitable Organization Drawing and therefore have included a form in this issue that you may use to nominate candidates for the drawing?an accompanying article explains more about it. Also in this issue are updates on various projects and happenings. We have found that there are inordinate delays in mailing the bulk rate "mixed-state" mailings of the Bonnes Nouvelles. In some cases it has taken up to 17 days for delivery to be made. We have discussed this delay with the U.S. Postal Service and will continue to do so until better results are obtained.
