It's that time again! That's right - it's time to start planning for our annual Reunion/Meeting. This year we are meeting in Richmond, Indiana on August 5 - 7. For more information, go to --> http://www.penningtonresearch.org/Meetings/2004mtg.htm . Here are my top ten reasons why you should this year's Reunion/Meeting: 1. You can participate in the dedication of our new Research Library/Archive at Earlham College. 2. You can do your own research by looking through the family histories, photographs and other material that has been donated to our new Research Library/Archive. 3. You can make new friends and maybe find a new "cousin". 4. Hear outstanding presentations by Nick Penington, Ph.D., Chairman of our DNA Study, Dr. Thomas Hamm, President of Earlham College and Jasper Green Pennington, PRA Archivist. 5. You can share your knowledge/skills with other researchers. 6. You can meet Board of Directors and exchange ideas with them about the future of the PRA. 7. You can learn something new. 8. You can teach something to another researcher. 9. You can visit the Allen County Genealogical Research Library in nearby Ft. Wayne, Indiana. The Allen County Genealogical Research Library has one of the largest genealogical collections with extensive resources for many of the mid-west states. 10. You can tour the Joseph Moore Museum, the Levi Coffin House and the Underground Railroad and go crazy at Centerville, Webb's Antique Mall which is Indiana's largest antique center. The PRA holds its' annual Reunion/Meeting in a different location each year to help reach more of our members. This year we are meeting in Richmond, Indiana, near Earlham College. If you've not attended a meeting in the past few years, why not make this the one you attend? I hope to see you there!
