Are you at a loss what to get that hard-to-buy-for young person you know? Teens can be difficult to buy for -- they have distinct tastes, they don't always say what they want, and their choices can be expensive. Have you tried to interest them in their family history? Why not take advantage of our Student Membership -- only $10 a year and they get all the benefits of a regular membership, except they may not hold office or serve on committees. Students at the junior high, senior high, and college levels are eligible. This is a great way to foster an interest in this fascinating hobby among the younger generation. Their youthful spirit at our meetings would no doubt inspire us all. Memberships will automatically expire on June 30, 2023, but $10 for six months' exposure to the world of genealogy is still a bargain -- less than $2/month. And you can give another gift of membership in June -- perhaps for graduation. And, you would be fostering someone to continue your research when you no longer can. See the Online Join tab in the left column of our web pages.
Of course, even if you don't have a youth in mind, your year-end donation to either our Library or our General Fund would be much appreciated. Indicate your choice in the Donor Comments box. See Donate on the left column of our web pages.
If you'd like to volunteer your time, that would be great too. We are an all-volunteer society. Without the participation of our members, we cannot exist. Consider running for a two-year term as an officer in June -- we need candidates for Vice President and President. We are happy to announce that our library volunteer, Darrell Brown, has agreed to be nominated for Treasurer. If there is someone out there interested or willing to become our Membership Chair, that would free up the current chair, who has been wearing three hats for several years and could use a break. Think it over. We all need to do our part. Training for any office will be provided.
