Announcing:
GENEA-BREAK
CranGenClub is still here for our members. President Sue Ennis has come up with a brilliant idea - Genea-Break!
Genea-Break works on the Zoom meeting app. During this stay-at-home period, we can still meet online, share information, and socialize. If any member would like to present a 5 minute topic or example during Genea-Break, please contact Sue Ennis at susanennis@verizon.net.
You must download the zoom app before attempting to join the meeting. Find the Zoom website online and follow the instructions.
Refer to the e-mail you have received from info@cranberrygenealogy.org for details. Information about each event is sent in a separate message, which is specific to you and your e-mail address. We are not permitted to share with non-members or friends, due to Zoom terms and conditions.
Future dates of Genea-Break meetings are: April 2, 9 and 16 at 7:00 PM - watch for an e-mail for each event.
