Verna Banes has initiated a "Phone Book" project as a part of the Fair. You are asked to bring any old telephone books you may have. These phone books can be from anywhere, not just local. These phone books will be placed on the "Freebie Table" at the fair to be given to anyone who may be interested. These old phone books are sometimes a great source for locating genealogical and family contacts. If you have some of these books to donate, please bring them to the meeting on Saturday. Also, if you have not already done so, please send in your registration for the Fair so we can get your surnames in the "Surname Booklet" to be distributed at the fair. Information about the Fair can be obtained by going to the society's webpage at: www.DickensonResearch.com/wcgen.htm and clicking on the link to the Fair. There is also a link to a brochure on the Fair information page. Hope to see you Saturday. Johnnie Jo Dickenson - President E-Mail: info@DickensonResearch.com --part1_a.a3022c6.27e24dcc_boundary--

The Society only has about 100 copies of The History of Montgomery County left. We have just started a program to ensure all schools in Montgomery County have a copy of this wonderful book. To offset expensives, we need sponsors to help fund this program. The books are now selling for $35.00 (plus $5.00 for postage). Bluebonnet Sponsorship=$10.00-$25.00 Mockingbird Sponsorship=$50.00-$100.00 Lone Star Sponsorship=$200.00-$500.00 To sponsor, please send your name (or company name), address, phone and email address along with payment to MCGSH P. O. Box 867 Conroe, TX 77305-0867 Please be sure and mark it as sponsor. Vol. 2 is now in the planning stages. This will take quite some time, so publication is not expected for 4-5 years.It has been 20 years since Vol. 1 was published, so there is lots to add. I will let everyone know when we will be accepting family information, so don't wait to start on this. Start getting the information ready along with photos. thanks, Jane Keppler

Since our previous Lock-Ins have been held at night, several have asked if we could have a similar program during the day. There will be a Computer Workshop held at 3:00 P.M. to familiarize our members with the new computers that have been set up in the library. Come directly from Church and share a Snack Lunch with us and then research throughout the afternoon. The library is providing the snack lunch and society members are asked to bring a dessert, such as brownies, cookies, etc. Help will be available to assist you with your research problems. Encourage your friends and family members who may be interested in genealogy to come and join us. The library will only be opened during these hours for genealogical research. Hope to see you there.
