Dear SKCGS members, Mary Kozy has been forced to quit being our publications printer, and we need a volunteer to take over her duties. The duties are: Keeping the master copies of all our publications at your house, taking needed masters to the Minuteman print shop on N. Central in Kent and picking up the copies after they are printed, then arranging to give the copies to Waneta Bosshart so she can comb-bind them. Waneta is very accommodating about meeting at a central place. There should not be more than one printing every two months, unless we are blessed with more sales than anticipated! I have the masters at my house, and desperately need someone to take on the printing. Hopefully, Martha Richards, Publications 425-226-1633 e-mail: marich@ix.netcom.com

I got this from a few of my lists. Normally I would not pass this on to my lists, but these are different times. I think this is a fabulous idea -------- And it certainly does make sense to me. A movement has been started like that from Desert Storm. During Desert Storm we tied yellow ribbons anywhere we could. Well, now the movement is to tie purple ribbons the same way. This is for two reasons. 1. In remembrance of not only the firefighters, police officers, paramedics who have died, but also for all who have died in this terrible tragedy. 2. Just as in the military, when a serviceman get injured, he is given the Purple Heart. Well, our country has been injured to its core. Please pass this on to everyone you know, and let's see purple ribbons everywhere. Along with the flag of the United States of America.

Hi Emma, Hope I'm not too late.....I'm going to try to make it to the luncheon tomorrow. Susan Koehler

Hatch's office in Washington, DC. I wasn't sure if the "Resolution to support Family History Month" had passed. IT HASN'T BEEN PRESENTED YET. Chris explained that things have been "slow going" perhaps due to the fact that the Senate is trying to finish up urgent business, and then go on recess. Most senators usually return to their home states for the end of the summer. While I believe genealogy is important, I understand that the Patient's Bill of Rights, etc., do take priority. WHAT STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE? Senator Hatch needs as many of his colleagues to support this resolution, and that can happen IF you write to your US Senator. I have taken the liberty of creating a sample letter which you can copy and paste in an e-mail to your senator, filling in the date, name and address where indicated. IF YOU NEED THE SNAIL OR E-MAIL ADDRESS OF YOUR US SENATOR, it can be found online at: http://www.senate.gov/ Then click to view the listing of senators by state, and follow to find the info on your senator. SAMPLE LETTER REQUESTING SUPPORT: ---------------- begin copy and paste ------------------- (Insert Date) Dear Senator: This letter is to request that you respond positively to Senator Orrin G.Hatch's 10 July 2001 letter of request to support a resolution declaring October each year as FAMILY HISTORY MONTH. Senator Hatch is correct in spotlighting the importance of families. Indeed, "the study of family history gives individuals a sense of their heritage and a sense of responsibility in carrying out a legacy that their ancestors began." Mr. Chris Campbell in Senator Hatch's office would like to provide more information on this resolution, and add your name as a cosponsor. (202) 224-4412. As one of your constituents, I ask that you vote in favor of this resolution that is of heartfelt importance to me and my family. Signed, insert your name here) Address City, state zip phone (optional) ---------------- end copy and paste ------------------- If even ten percent of the "14 million people (researching family on the internet)" and "24 million people (using e-mail) last month" preferenced in the proposal) were to write, the avalanche of support would be hard for our senators to overlook. Don't delay! Write to your senator TODAY! Happy family tree climbing!
