We are going to be making some changes with the Society web site and would be very interested in talking to some members who might feel comfortable in maintaining our site. We are open to all suggestions and comments by anyone and we have much more ideas to help to help other genealogical researchers. If you attended the March meeting and listened to Susan Dechant of the N.E. WA Genealogical Society - it made many of us feel that we are not doing what we can to help others. If you go to the Lincoln County website or to Stevens Co. (all WA) web site, you can see just what is being offered by much smaller societies. Plus they have made it all so easy to find their material - just go down their lists and click on to that link. It is wonderful and we need to be doing the same. I hope you will go check them out..... Please do keep it in mind and we all have many more talents than we know. Don't forget that the April 2nd meeting is at the Country Homes Christian Church on Wall and Country Homes Blvd. Jan Sanders, the director of the library, will be with us and yours truly will show you how an English ancestor turned into a German...... Bring your own lunch and please do join us. Have a great weekend and GO ZAGS!!!!!!! Bette

Bette Another Genealogical Society Web page to check out is the Clark County Washington Web Site. They have a weekly Chat, and they post their newsletters online in PDF format, to save printing and postage. Members have a special address to access the current newsletter. It is at http://www.ccgs-wa.org/ They welcome anyone to the Thursday night chats, and check local and online records for people searching for their ancestors. They have done a lot to cut costs since they are running their own library, and paying rent on the building that houses the library. I am really glad we did not try to do that, but they are happy with their decision to run their own library.
