EWGS turns 80 years
old this year! To mark this occasion, EWGS is offering to members and
prospective members (anybody and everybody) an invitation to come attend our
celebration party! We're calling it Your Story Starts Here!
It's on Saturday, June
6th, our regular EWGS meeting date, but this is not a regular meeting. The
day will run from 10:00 to 4:00. As you enter the library you will be given
an EWGS Passport which you will take to Six
Stations in the library to learn more about EWGS, about our genealogy
collection, about how to fill out genealogy charts, how to tell your story. At
each station, you'll get a stamp on your passport and a fully stamped passport
puts you in the drawing for our prizes.
There will be two feature
presentations. The first one will be a Who Do You Think You Are? presentation
to our Spokesman columnist, Paul Turner. He has no idea what
our Tuesday Gals' sleuthing have uncovered about his ancestry. The second
presentation will be by Garrin Hertel, of Nostalgia magazine
who will give us a presentation on Spokane in the 1930s. (EWGS was founded in
1935.)
There will be cake and
punch, there will be free EWGS pencils, there will be all sorts of handouts and
there will be Dorothy Dean recipes from 1935 as they appeared
in the Spokesman-Review.
Hope you plan to come,
spend the day, and please bring a new-member friend. See you there!
