I will be unsubbing the members who are leaving the AB and subbing the new members sometime after midnight. And that may happen in the morning. If you wish to remain subbed without posting privileges to the Board list, please let me know. Tomorrow I will begin the processes for the new term. Thank you.

I would like to take a few moments to thank all members of our Advisory Board for their service to The USGenWeb Project over the past 12 months. And thank you for putting up with me and providing me your individual and collective guidance. It has been truly appreciated. Tonight we are saying goodbye to Betsy Mills, our Representative at Large, who has been of tremendous assistance and council to me, and has grabbed me by the ears a few times. Betsy, you will be truly missed on our Board. Cyndie Enfinger has been on the AB for as long as I can remember for the Special Projects; she did not run this year and no one was elected. Thank you for your years of service, Cyndie. We will look at appointing someone to this vacant spot on the AB soon. Bill Oliver is another great volunteer who has been with the AB for a while. Thank you so much for your service, Bill. And last, but definitely not least, Pauli Smith who has become a great friend as well as a wonderful member of the AB for several years. Thank you to each and every one of you. Your partnership this past year has been very much appreciated. As we are getting close to the bewitching hour, I wanted to send out this thank you and acknowledgement of your services for the entire time period(s) you have worked with me on the AB and I look forward to retaining each of you as a friend.

I'm very happy to announce that with the assistance of Joy Fisher and Karen De Groote, we have now secured a double booth at the NGS 2016 Family History Conference. We are excitedly looking forward to celebrating the 20th Anniversary of The USGenWeb Project. Karen has donated funds from a trust of her late father to pay for one booth in honor of her late father, Virgil G. De Groote. We would truly appreciate any donations towards the payment of the 2nd booth and other expenses that will be incurred in order to represent The USGenWeb Project at this Conference. The conference runs from 4th through the 7th of May, 2016, and will take place at the Broward County Conference Center in East Fort Lauderdale. Unfortunately, we will not be able to have a track of talks sponsored by our Project as that window has already closed. We are looking for volunteers to assist in manning the booth for two hour increments for each day. Also, ideas for displays and donations of materials for our celebration will be gladly accepted and entertained. I know there are lots of very talented folks out there in our group and I look forward to hearing from many of you. Any questions, just let me know. Let me know how you would like to assist in this endeavor as we head into the new year. Come help us help the Project! Thank you so much.

I haven't heard from anyone about this. Is anyone willing to contribute to the cost of maintains a table at the conference which just 30-40 minutes away from where I live. I think this would be a great opportunity for USGW. Also, I am going to approach NGS about allowing us to possibly run a tract with speakers from our Project. If you are or have been a speaker, please contact me to discuss this possibility. Small financial contributions from lots of members would support this very quickly. Let me hear from you if you are interested in helping and feel free to write to me privately. Thanks.

Les, I totally understand. Your wife comes first always. Please just chime in as you can and don't forget to take out the trash on time! ???? I'm still sending prayers for you and your wife Naomi. Please keep us updated on Board-Exec on Naomi's condition. You don't need to post that on Board. My thoughts are with you.

Denise the three proposals that I submitted all came from the membership. Two of the three I agree with and the third I do not see a practical way to accomplish. I am hesitant to take on anything else now with caring for Naomi and doing her chores as well as mine. I do try to participate in discussions and solving problems and do not know of a vote that I have missed but I might not have the time to do any of these three proposals justice.
