Who Does Your DNA Think You Are?




Who Does Your DNA Think You Are?

Save the Date!

And get involved with the preparations!

We've got a tremendous seminar coming up next June and the Seminar Committee members, headed by Winona Laird, are already working hard to make this a success.  Valorie Zimmerman is in charge of publicity.  Last May we mailed "Save the Date" postcards to nearly 100 genealogy societies, historical societies and other organizations.

Linda Blais is in charge of the Silent Auction and Raffle.  She has a list of items she plans to put in baskets and bundles for either the auction or raffle.  You may have one of the items you would be happy to donate or procure.  Linda would love to hear from you.


The flyer above is available on our website skcgs.org  Please download it, print a few copies to hand out or email it to friends.   

The seminar is eight months away but it will go quickly.  Between now and next June there will be several tasks to accomplish and we could use extra hands.  It may be one afternoon to address brochures for mailing.  Or one of many other jobs that take only a couple of hours if there are enough people helping.  Speak up, volunteer, and let us know what you are able and willing to do to make this a success.
