Summer keeps us all so busy so we will not have a help session in July.

Our July presentation will be on the 18th at 7 p.m. at the Creative Arts & Technology Center (CATC) building, room 104. Our presenter will be Emily Richardson speaking about lineage societies. Choosing to join a lineage society is one way to honor your ancestor. The variety of societies has increased in recent years to include military, fraternal, religious, hereditary, ethnic, and patriotic to name just a few. But which one or ones should you join? Are the applications the same to each? What are the requirements? What types of records are they looking for? All of these questions will be answered, and samples of several society applications will be examined.

On Monday, Aug. 14 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the CATC building, room 104, there will be an afternoon help session where experienced members of the club will be available to assist you. Please bring your laptop or tablet, any pertinent information, as well as your questions for some one-on-one help. Members and non-members are welcome.

On Aug. 15, Tony Hanson will speak about photography at 7 p.m. at the CATC building, room 104.
