Greetings listers In view of the prorogation of Parliament, and the fact that during October there are a number of activities that offer the opportunity for gathering more signatures on petitions, it has been decided to extend the present deadline for getting petitions in until 31 October 1999. One of the activities that can offer an opportunity for gathering signature is the Global Family History Fair '99 to be held in Milton, Ontario, October 16/17 1999. If you are hearing about Global Family History Fair for the first time, check out the official web site at << http://globalgenealogy.com/genfair >> Lots of great family history research workshops, vendor area, thirty buildings and exhibits with costumed interpreters, War of 1812 re-enactors, world class quilt exhibition and more... Rick Roberts has offered to donate table space for a CENSUS CAMPAIGN table. However with his other responsibilities regarding the two day fair, he is unable to supply the people to man the table and collect petition signatures. We are therefore looking for a handful of local volunteers to look after this. Responsibilities would be to prepare some basic signage and to provide copies of the petitions to be signed. As always the petitions are downloadable from the Post 1901 Census Project page. Volunteers would have access to the site, parking, etc. (not the workshops) free of charge. If you are willing to volunteer for this please contact me as soon as possible. The first emailer who indicates their willingness to do so will be given the task of co-ordinating the others re: times for duty, making signs etc. I will put you in contact with each other and let you know how to contact Rick for site access. As always, thanks to everyone for their support. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.
