Just curious - is there a sign outside each entrance door of the Clarksburg public library pointing to the "genealogy library" next door? A person could go to the library all the time, never knowing what is over at Waldomore, thinking it is merely a landmark. Also - I just googled the Waldomore and "stood" in front of the Waldomore and noticed that there is no sign revealing what treasures lay inside. How about an era-appropriate sign declaring it is the site of the Harrison County Genealogical Library? SIGNS PLANT SEEDS. If we should decide to do this, may I recommend "Hickman Signs" for the job. I've been to their place of business and have seen examples of their work - they can do anything. As a matter of fact, I think one of owner Eddie Hickman's grandchildren was a winner of one of our HCGS scholarships. Just checked online and the company has a website www.hickmansigns.com. where you can see some of their work (click on "portfolio").

As for the fair - have we considered inviting any of the other area genealogy groups to participate either as presenters or with a display table? I know that I have roots that cross quite a few county lines. With the way the WV counties came into exisitance, some references to or from some of the other groups would be great. Sharing resources makes it easier on everyone.

Diana, GREAT IDEA! It would also be good to promote this information in the high schools along with the information about the scholarships. If the kids knew more about where and how to get information on their families, they would be more likely to become interested in participating in the scholarship program. Maybe even have a workship for high school students to promote interest in family history.

Another idea. Would it be possible to hold a fair at the Bridgeport library? If they would agree, they are so accessible and may reach new people. How necessary is it to stay at Clarksburg? I have talked to Sharon at Bridgeport and they are not interested in competing with Clarksburg in the Genealogy area. But they do have a nice meeting room if it is large enough.

Ideas: Has a later time for the meetings been considered, such as 1:00? Maybe 11:00 even. When new publications are being ordered would it help to put more information about them in the newsletter? (education for new researchers.) See if the newspapers in Harrison and surrounding counties would do a story on the library. Do things to make the library more open to new and younger people. (Friendly!!!) David does a good job but he can't do it all. In at least some of the monthy meetings include a short mini education / help session and publicize it and the subject ahead of the meetings. It would not have to take much preparation. Ask for volunteers and keep to a limited subject. (How about one on migration patterns and maps?) A fair sounds like a good idea. Just some brain storming. How about joining in?

Due to up coming weather conditions which looks like it will be a mixture of sleet I am not going to the meeting this morning. I talked to David and he will let me know what transpires if someone shows up to the meeting. Ruby

This is the reminder of the HCGS regular monthly meeting. It will be held tomorrow, February 5th, at 10:00 A.M. on the second floor of the Waldomore. There is a lot on the agenda tomorrow and we need to have a good turn out of members to participate. I will be there if the snow holds off until evening. I've had enough snow to last me until next winter. Ruby

Dave, Are you talking vertcally or horizonally. Are you getting the two pictures and the writing in between the pictures at the top and when you go to another page the top of the page stays the same. The lower part of the page will scroll but the top will stay there and not scroll. Do you mean it is cutting off the page on the right? Also which browers are you using, IE, Mozila, etc Dick -----Original Message----- From: Dave Kuhl <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sun, Jan 31, 2010 11:24 pm Subject: Re: [HCGS] WVHCGS Web Site Is there a way to get a full screen image of the website?
