Genealogy Club names new president

The Leisure World Genealogy Club ushers in a new president in 2022. Janet Lessin has lived in Leisure World for five years and has been working on her genealogy for 40 years, going back 10 generations.

The first general membership meeting of the year is Jan. 27 at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 1. The group will play Genealogy Bingo, with delicious prizes. All members and guests must be masked. The $10 dues are a great value; members receive free, full access to the world version of Ancestry, Fold3 for military records and Newspapers Plus edition in the Genealogy Library, plus books and computer use. Located in Clubhouse 3, adjacent to the reception area, the Genealogy Library is open Monday- Friday from 1-4 p.m. The club runs on volunteers and is requesting assistance. A volunteer is needed for Saturdays at the library, which is temporarily closed on Sundays. People are also needed for setting up and cleaning up for meetings, as well as donations of refreshments.

Vice President Cynthia MacFarland has lined up some exciting speakers for future gatherings. Contact Mary Romero at (562) 810-4266 for more information.
