Family History Month: Show and Tell Our Family Treasures
 
Nothing brings our family history more alive than the treasures we have received from generations of the past.  At the October 19 meeting (Note, this is the 3rd Saturday), we ask members to  share your most cherished artifacts with everyone.  Some may be suitable to bring, and others might only be feasible to represent in a photograph, but each has a small story that the audience will value.  If you are willing to participate, please register your treasure by email by October 11. Simply tell us which item you will bring to the meeting or email us a photo of the item.  If you do not want to present your item, please include a short paragraph about the item so we can have another member share it on your behalf.
 
If you need help getting a photo of your treasure scanned to be included in the presentation, please call the library at (561) 616-3455 and our volunteers will make arrangements with you to get your photo scanned at the Genealogy Library.
 
Whether you register an item or are not a member, do come and hear all the intriguing stories of our past and bring a friend.  They will enjoy it too!
 
Email your registration to ancestry@gensocofpbc.org by Oct 11 so we can put the finishing touches on the meeting plan and slide show
