This is getting the topic in front of a lot of people and if we can grab a few into our respective organizations and communities we will be fortunate. Are the various history and genealogy organizations you belong to figuring out how to take advantage of this? As an example one of the clubs I belong to has put on a series of *Ancestor's Roadshows* in conjunction with three of our local libraries and have another series planned this year. We are also working with the local girl scout and boy scout councils to help with their merit badges and we are working with a local group, Shepherds Center, to provide an 8 week genealogy course. Our club also sponsers two genealogy courses a year which usually has 13-18 people each time. We all have to be part of and support our clubs if we want them to grow. Now is a great opportunity. Sorry for the soapbox but it is something I feel very strongly about. Douglas Burnett Satellite Beach Fl
