Upcoming Programs & Events for the Lincoln Lancaster County Genealogical Society -- Contact Ron Gaddis with questions: rongaddis@neb.rr.com or Eva Bachman: ebachman1@unl.edu Things are really happening! Tune in now! Don't miss out! Three very important learning opportunities in the near future: 1) The next meeting on 14 September ~ "Working With a Volunteer AND Being a Volunteer". Our members with experience will share with us the secrets working with volunteers...all the way from a single use of a volunteer's assistance to establishing a permanent collaborator to help you dig in the corners and turn over rocks of Aunt Minnie's county to find her onery elusive relatives! Then we will discuss 3 arenas of potential volunteering and the astounding benefits of so doing: a) internet possibilities for hosting and/or assisting in numerous projects, b) volunteering in non-LLCGS Nebraska efforts like helping LDS and our Historical Society. working with schools and churches on family history and finally, c) the MANY volunteering opportunities within our own LLCGS organization. You think you are not terribly interested? Think again! This program should prove to be extremely interesting. We are going to hear about things we never even dreamed of before and we can learn a great deal. And this volunteering stuff is the very "life blood" of genealogy and family history. Much of what we "discover" is due to the efforts of someone else who preserved the info and found a way to pass it on to us. We owe it to ourselves to find out more about volunteering! 2) Further away is the October 12 meeting on "Genealogy & Photography" presented by our own expert, Dick Young. New digital photography offers us a phenomenal new tool, both outdoors and indoors, along with some challenges as well. Plan now to attend this meeting! 3) October 16 (Saturday) during Family History Month is our workshop for the fall. See details elsewhere, but this will also be a golden opportunity! Meetings are at 7:15 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month in the Amphitheater, Dick Administration Bldg., Union College, 3800 S. 48th St., Lincoln, NE. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nellcgs/index.htm Take care, Kathie Harrison LLCGS Website Coordinator http://www.rootsweb.com/~nellcgs/index.htm
