Evening all, Would just like to wish Kath, good luck with the Journal, I'm sure she will do a great job. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank Vanessa, on behalf of the committee and the membership for the fantastic job she did of the Journal over the last two years. We have had a great variety of articles and anecdotes which have been a delight to read. Vanessa has also kindly offered to help Kath on the way to doing her first Journal if she needs any advice etc. So with the help from you all, submitting items to Kath will keep it full of interesting articles. Please send any ideas or articles direct to Kath on her email address below and not through the group's list, as we'll all be reading a future Journal, and be thinking I'm sure I've read this before somewhere. LOL!! The new committee is having a 2013 preview meeting Monday Dec 3rd to do some planning and outline some things for next year. and will be wrapping up until the new year, recharging the batteries so we can have another fabulous year. On behalf of the Membership, last year's committee nominated Anne Dow for the Southern Suburbs Volunteer Award, for all her work in rejuvenating and organising the Resource Room over the last two years. We are pleased to announce that the nomination was successful, and Anne will receive her award tomorrow. Congratulations and well done Anne. Cheers, Sharon G -----Original Message----- From: fpfhg-list-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:fpfhg-list-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Kathleen Fisher Sent: Sunday, 2 December 2012 10:02 AM To: fpfhg-list@rootsweb.com Subject: [FPFHG-LIST] Journal Hello Everyone Many of you will be fully aware that the journal Relative Thoughts has had a change of editor. Vanessa has done a wonderful job and now I need to try and keep up the high standard she has set. The next journal is due in January and so I am sending out a request for contributions. Any local news, success in your research, overseas connections, funny stories etc would be welcome. Length does not matter. If very long we can spread over more than one volume. I hope to include a magic moments spot for those great successes which appear unexpectedly as part of our research. Also there are a number of new members who have joined us this year. It would be great to hear from you so that you can introduce yourself and your interests. It is amazing how many connections can be made from even a small amount of information. An attached reply to this email will get to me. Photos are always great as well. My email is kathfisher6@hotmail.com and phone 08-82986772.
