Last night was the board meeting for
L-AGS. I missed the last meeting due
to Dad’s passing, but I always enjoy the meetings. I’m not on the board,
but I write the eBulletin each month and I get good ideas from the Board.
They amaze me in what they
accomplish each month in helping others. These wonderful people spend
more than full time jobs helping other people with their research. For
free. They are each very inspiring to me.
Tonight’s meeting focused on some of
the programs our club has or is in the process of sponsoring. One is the Ask Granny they recently did with a local
retirement community. There were 18 residents who came and sat three to a
table with one docent. It was all paper and pen and they filled out charts and
forms based on what they knew or remembered. It was very well received
and they are looking to do this again in other arenas.
Another is the October Heritage
Happenings at all of our local libraries. They have greeters, guides and
facilitators who help community members with their genealogy. There are
quite a few people volunteering and I hope our times at the library will be
filled up with people wanting to learn more about their family history.
