Pre-Meeting Social -
Members and guests are invited to a "social time" before the August meeting. Because of the tight window, there is never time to introduce ourselves and share our particular interests within the field of genealogy. If you are able to come at 6 pm, we'll have refreshments and name tags to facilitate the socializing. Who knows, you may even find a cousin!
