Dear Mr. Merritt, In case you are unaware of it, the FSGS has an active calendar of events across the state by month. Any Florida Society can post there, and it is a convenient way to discover who is speaking on what (not to mention publicizing your own events). http://www.rootsweb.com/~flsgs/calendar.htm There is also a "speakers' bureau" on the site, featuring speakers from all over Florida, which may be helpful. http://www.rootsweb.com/~flsgs/speakers_bureau.htm Hope this helps, William Zehner BCGS Web master > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Subject: > [FL-WFGS] Speaker list to share with neighboring Genealogical Societies. > From: > Jerry Merritt <[email protected]> > Date: > Sun, 10 Feb 2008 11:52:17 -0600 > To: > WFGS <[email protected]> > > To: > WFGS <[email protected]> > > > One of the objectives we are working toward in the WFGS this year is to > establish a liaison with neighboring societies to share information on > speakers.
