The next Cowgill Cousins reunion will be 8 - 12 June 2005 in Salt Lake City (those who wish to do additional research may arrive as early as the 6th and stay longer).

Plan to meet and visit with "cousins", do research in the extensive holdings of the Family History Library (within a block from our hotel), or tour the city and the exciting Salt Lake area. For those not interested in genealogy, there are plenty of parks, museums, galleries, pioneer villages, a zoo, and the Olympic Village within easy reach. Good public transport means you can forget the car!

We will meet and stay at the Best Western Salt Lake Plaza Hotel at Temple Square (800-366-3684 toll-free) in the heart of Salt Lake City across the street from Historic Temple Square, next door to the genealogy library. A special rate of $79 per room has been set for Cowgill Cousins attendees. The hotel has a shuttle from the airport. See a virtual tour of the rooms and facilities at www.plaza-hotel.com.

Reunion chairperson is Sandra Cowgill Doutre (3789 North Stevens Place, Coeur d'Alene, ID 83815; or sanddmsw@earthlink.net. Contact Sandra if you need more specifics, if you have proposed agenda items, or if you can help (208) 765-6445. Alternate chairperson is Susie Wanlass, phone (801) 766-0659.

Activities planned include workshops on new discoveries in Cowgill history, report on a Cowgill DNA project, tours of the Family History Library, a family picnic in the park, and a Saturday night dinner and silent auction (be thinking about auction items to donate!). Other local group or individual tours can be arranged depending on interest. It is not necessary to be a Cowgill Cousins member to attend, but why not join us?
