The Harrison County Genealogical Society held their regular monthly meeting this date with seven persons in attendance. It was good to have Patricia Dennison in attendance today. We are missing several of our regular members and we hope that it is not due to illness. David had gone book shopping and bought the following books: Monongah Disaster by Davitt McAteer He bought a new book to replace our old one on the History of Randolph County, by Hu Maxwell Don't buy another vote, I won't pay for another landslide by Dr. Allan Loughry II Moth Man by Jeff Wamsley Historical Atlas of West Virginia by Frank S. Riddel Bemis & Glady of WV by Steve Bodkins The Christmas dinner will be on Saturday, December 15th at 2:00 P.M. at the Parkette Restaurant. It will be a gift exchange as before. Something that can be used by male or female. Antero will copy our obits and will bring their own scanner to do it with and will compensate us for copying them. They will be doing it themselves. West Virginia History Day will be on the 21st of February 2013 and we nominated Dick Wilt, our webmaster, as the hero from the HCGS. He does a lot for our group. It is becoming dues time once again as our dues runs from January 1st through December 31st. We would appreciate it if you would mark your application whether you want a membership card or not. Of course the lifetime members already have one so they do not need to respond. Steve Maxwell from the Sons of the American Revolution came to the meeting and wanted to know if we would be interested in going in with them and others to hold a genealogy seminar probably in April or May. We voted to participate and it will probably be held at the Waldomore. Of course no plans were made only a suggestion where it might be held. Our next meeting will be on Saturday, December 1st.
