The August meeting is the famous annual Show & Tell meeting that we always enjoy so much, so I hope everyone has put together their topic to discuss with us. I understand we will have a computer hookup and projector so there are several options to share your special genie experience for 2007-2008. If you can carry it in we will love to see it. I'll never forget the dresser drawer! The local D-OGS members may want to look around and see if they have some no longer used items that will aid someone else's genealogy efforts. Perhaps you have a packet of forms you got at the NGS conference a while back and used the ones you needed and now you have a bunch left over, or maybe a book about NC research, or some journals that you no longer need. Most of them are very useful even if they are last year's copies or older. What about those commercial CDs containing data that had only one mention of your family, and now you don't need them any longer? Someone else may be very happy to get their hands on them. We'll have a table to lay the things out on and plenty of time to pick and choose. Please bring something so everyone can benefit. This weekend will be a good time to survey your materials and create a space for something new you've had your eye on. While you're at it, plan to bring something to nibble on as D-OGS is providing the drinks to go along with the food. Cookies, crackers, nuts and what have you will do nicely. I hope to see you there.
