Computer Workshop
- On January 4 at 7 p.m., we'll learn how to Clean Out The Clutter. Our New Year's resolution is to help our computers work better for our genealogical research. Let's look at cleaning out old files and programs, then organizing directories so we can find our data. We also want to keep our data safe by using anti-virus programs and frequent data backups.
Business Meeting
- January 13 at 9:30 a.m. will find David J. Eslick telling us about the Ozarks' Boy Scouts colorful past. Were your ancestors involved in Boy Scouts?
Genealogy Workshop
- January 27 at 9:30 a.m. will be another sharing session. This time let's talk about the genealogy gifts we gave and received. Perhaps this will get us thinking about next year. Some things may take a year to prepare.
Also, remember the OGS library has been closed for the holidays since Wednesday, December 23, 2009, and will reopen on Wednesday, January 6, 2010. |

November 2 ~ Scanning Genealogy Pictures and Documents by John Carter, Janice Nusbaum, and Doris Wilson
Have you considered digitizing your genealogical research? Scanning those materials will allow you to store them on a computer, where it will reduce your storage space and make the information much more accessible. Bring a picture or document you would like to scan, along witha flash drive to store the results, and see how easy this process can be! 7:00 p.m. at The Library Center
November 4 ~ Annual Business Meeting
It's important for all members who are able to plan to attend. Please note the special date. It's one week earlier than usual because TLC will be closed on the regular meeting day. AT the annual meeting we will elect officers for the 2010 calendar year. The nominating committee is hard at work to fill the slate with candidates. If you are contacted by the committee, pleas consider taking an office and helping OGS continue to thrive.
Also planned for November 4th is the annual Memorial Service where we remember our members, former members, and members' loved ones who passed away during the previous year. The Library Acquisition Committee has been hard at work choosing appropriate books to place in our collection to memorialize those who died.
November 25 ~ No meeting due to Thanksgiving |
