Member Stories - Jun 10 Monthly Meeting
 At our final meeting before the summer break, the speaker will be YOU! We will spend the evening hearing members stories from our own research and trees. Please come ready to share a tale about unique research you've conducted, interesting characters from your families, crazy stories you've uncovered, brushes with greatness, black sheep, masterminds, saints and fools. These sessions are always a blast and so entertaining! If you know you want to be a presenter, please contact Greg Nordlund in advance at gregnordlund@gmail.com
