This will be held in the Central Library 500 W. 3rd Street, Fort Worth, Texas on Saturday, November 1, 2003 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. We are inviting members of TXGenWeb to participate. We are inviting organizations to join us by setting up and staffing a table for display of their information & publications. These tables will be setup in the Art Gallery around the east stairway on the ground floor. The Library will provide a table and two chairs to each organization. We may display and sell appropriate merchandise. You will be able to accept payment for memberships. This is subject to change without prior notice. This is to be a FREE event to publicize all of our local genealogical and historical organizations. Ms. Shirley Apley, Senior Librarian, in the Genealogy Department is planning a dozen classes in the lecture rooms, also free. Some of the topics she has planned are: Beginning Genealogy, Preservation of Documents, Scrap Booking, On Line Genealogy, Computer Use and Inter-Library Loans. If you wish to attend the classes, you must also register with Ms. Apley at sapley@fortworthlibrary.org. We hope you will consider joining us in this event, and meet other genealogical and historical groups from the area. If you can join us please reserve a table right away. (deadline Oct. 20) I will group the CC's together at shared table space so that you can visit each other. I believe that Lela Evans has agreed to do a presentation on USGenWeb. If you have questions you may email me at rgyoder@juno.com. Sincerely Rob Yoder - Fort Worth, TX - rgyoder@juno.com Tarrant County TXGenWeb - http://www.rootsweb.com/~txtarran/
