Do you love to plan parties? If so, the GFO has a job for you. Each Fall, the genealogy library has an "Open House" and we invite the public to visit our facility to see what we as a society have to offer in the way of genealogical research. It gives us a chance to showcase our excellent collection of books, give a few tours, have a few computer demonstrations, and maybe even sell a few books to them. In fact, we hope to sell LOTS of books. But this won't happen unless we have someone who will be the "Open House Chairman." Usually we have a few cookies, snacks, punch, coffee and tea set up in the Common Area outside the library. Of course, we also like to welcome our visitors with some nice simple table decorations. This does not require anything elaborate and the number of hours involved would be minimal. If this sounds like something you would like to do, please leave a message for Sandi or Laurel at GFO - (503) 963-1932. Cathy Lauer Volunteer Coordinator
