West-Central Kentucky Family Research Assoc. has scheduled a genealogical seminar for Saturday, 20 Sept. 2003 in Owensboro, Ky. Michael John Neill will deliver four lectures. Details can be found on WCKFRA's webpages. http://www.rootsweb.com/~kywckfra/index.htm Please email Chester Ward with questions. [email protected] Please note our seminar date in your periodicals, and/or register for free vendor tables at the seminar. As at past seminars, a syllabus with a package of catalogs, fliers, advertisements, and study guides will be given to each person in attendance. Would you like your catalog/price list included? Attendance is anticipated to be about 100. We will include any materials received by Sept. 13. If you chose to send a limited quantity of your material, less than the number in attendance, the literature will be placed on a table with other free handouts (not in individual packages). Welcome Vendors! WCKFRA has good news for vendors of genealogical books and/or supplies. There will be a lot of room at this year's seminar, and admission for vendors is free! At some of our recent seminars, there has been a noticeable lack of table space, but that's all changed. Some have pointed out the difficulty of turning a profit and still paying admission. We've decided to accept reservations for as many tables wanted, free of charge. The only catch is that you must register in advance by Sept. 13, and let us know the number of tables needed. You can either email or write. Contributions for doorprizes are welcome. Your name, address, and company particulars will be announced with the prize presentation.
