a buffet dinner, the traditional race named in our honor, and more then a few trips to the cashier windows. Thanks to all for making this

such a special outing.

Erin Go Boyd

The Inaugural Boyd - St. Raymond's St. Patrick's Day party held at St. Raymond's Council on the evening of March 18th was a

rousing success. Over one hundred revelers turned out for a festive evening of dining and dancing with a Celtic twist. Special thanks to John

Honan and Dennis Farley for coordinating such a memorable evening.

W.J.Boyd was well represented in the K of C Free Throw tournament by 11 year old Matthew Saunders from St. Barnabas. Matthew

won our Council championship, and then proceeded to win the District, Bronx/Manhattan/Staten Island, and Downstate titles to earn a trip to the

N.Y. State championships held at West Point where he tied for second place.
