PRESIDENT'S
COLUMN z
Wow, have we reached the lazy days of
summer! When you receive this we should be
having a Summer Institute, with our own
Patricia Law Hatcher and Lloyd de Witt
Bockstruck speaking on the subject "Land and
Court - Special Topics", which will help
complete your genealogical education.
Earlier in the year, your board voted to have
four large newsletters a year. In the
examination of the Bylaws, we discovered that
our "founding fathers" defined the DGS
newsletter as the communication between the
Society and its members. So we have modified
our earlier Newsletter schedule to four large
newsletters and at least four small newsletters
a year. This is the first large newsletter under
that change. We are trying to be very efficient
with your membership dollars. We have had
several postage and paper cost increases over
the last few years. Soon we will be able to put
the newsletter on the web, and you will be able
to help the Society save mailing costs by
electing to download your Newsletter. You will
be notified when that becomes a possibility.
Have you been to the library lately? The
microfiche project led by Shirley Sloat is
proceeding very well, and new microfiche for
most states is being processed. We expect to
complete this project this year. We are
constantly trying to make the Dallas Public
Library a better genealogical library.
Have you considered going on the Salt Lake
Trip? This year the group will stay at the Plaza
Hotel right across from the Family History
Library in Salt Lake. Whatever you are
researching, you can do it in-depth there. Wealways have fun as a group. Novice
researchers can schedule a session with Janet
Khashab and/or me on how to prepare for your
first trip there, probably about the first week of
August. If this is your first trip to Salt Lake,
please circle that you are a first-timer. That will
flag us that we need to get with you to give
some direction on how to prepare. If you would
like more information, go to the website
www.dallasgenealogy.org, Salt Lake City; or
contact Janet Khashab at
education(dallasgenealogy.orq or Elizabeth
Kutz at president(ddallasgenealogy.orq.
Have you taken a vacation yet this summer? If
not, how about a "staycation"? With all the
new information in the genealogical section of
the Dallas Public Library, there is a lot to look
at and research right here!
Your ancestors are calling!
