Lafayette Genealogical Society Conference Tomorrow at 930 am there will be an organizational meeting at the Library to finalize the plans for our October conference. All members are urged to attend and offer help and ideas. There are many areas where you can help. The estimated cost and price of admission will be finalized. Any help to reduce cost will be greatly received. Currently the critical path is equipment rental and the cost for admission. We need projectors for Power Point presentations which are rather expensive. The agenda is below Tasks Associated with the Conference 1 Advertising A. Post on Web B. Library C. Email Societies D.
