See details below. There WILL be a General Meeting in December at the usual time and place (see next announcement) but there will NOT be meetings of the TMG Group, the Study Group or the Computer Interest Group. ANNOUNCEMENTS L-AGS General Meeting The program for the next meeting of L-AGS on December 10th will be a celebration of the 25th anniversary of our Society's founding. We expect several long-time members will be in attendance, some of whom may have some interesting memories to share with us. There will be photo albums, old Roots Tracers, and other memorabilia on display. Watch our Web site for special announcements about the celebration. See time and place details below. - - - - - Volunteers at Family History Center The Family History Centers in Livermore and Pleasanton are looking for a few more folks to volunteer to become docents. Being a docent is a great way to help your fellow genealogists with their research. You can also help yourself because there is usually time during your duty hours to do your own research. The location, maps, hours of operation and the phone number for the two centers are given at: http://www.l-ags.org/library.hours.html - - - - - Naughty or Nice? Santa is watching whether you pay your renewal dues early, as nice genealogists do. Don't take a chance - do it now. Dues are: Individual $18 Family $25 Benefactor $40 Patron $100 Pay your dues to Kaye or Stan Strickland at the general meeting, or to any club officer at a subgroup meeting, or send a check made out to L-AGS to: L-AGS P.O.
