Genealogy Club
The Genealogy Club will meet July 26 at 11:30 a.m. in the picnic area by Clubhouse 1. This meeting is a great opportunity to chat with club members, meet new members and exchange information. People should bring a dish to share with a serving utensil and their own beverage. The sign-up sheet is in the Genealogy Library located in Clubhouse 3. The final day for sign-up is Friday, July 21, to get a headcount for supplies. The club will provide hot dogs, hamburgers, buns, plates and eating utensils Theme Thursdays are becoming very popular. Workshops start at 1:30 p.m. and people should arrive early for a good seat. The schedule is as follows: Scottish Research on July 13, Acadians on July 20, and Help for Beginners on July 27.
The Genealogy Library is currently open to members from Monday-Thursday from 1-4 p.m.; closed Friday; Saturday-Sunday from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.
People are reminded to label their folders and not to bring original documents, only copies. The club is requesting donations of bottled water and chocolate candy: the volunteers and researchers run on both.
Those who purchase a new computer this year are encouraged to donate their old, usable computers, office chairs and paper shredders to the library. For more information about the club, email lwgenealogy@gmail.com.
