OGS Events Are Now A Mixture of In-Person and/or Virtual Meetings
OGS uses various formats for our meetings.
- Monthly General Meetings will be hybrid (Zoom and in-person) in non-winter months and virtual (Zoom) in winter months.
- Monthly Board Meetings will be virtual (Google Meet).
- The Spring Seminar will be virtual (Zoom)
- SIG meeting types are determined by the individual SIG leaders.
OGS hosts several different types of events. See the links in the main menu under "Community Events" to learn more about each type of event and the schedules for each:
- General Membership Meetings -- OGS members normally meet the 2nd Thursday of the month, September through June, at 7:00 pm (social time begins at 6:30 pm). In-person meetings are held at the Westminster Presbyterian Church, 1925 Boulevard Rd SE, Olympia, WA, unless noted otherwise. Non-member guests are welcome.
All General Membership Meetings will be available on the Zoom platform. A link to the meeting will be provided on the website on the day of the meeting.
- Spring Seminar - This is OGS's premier event featuring one or more distinguished speakers for a full-day paid seminar. Registration in advance is required.
- Beginners Workshop - This is a free beginning genealogy research class typically offered once a year. The class includes steps for research, places to gather information, and ways to document your family history. Look for it on our Community Events calendar.
We look forward to seeing you at our events. If you need a ride to any of these events, please reach out to another member.
