Chelan Valley Genealogical Society Happenings

2010-01-25T17:37:00.000-08:00

We have some wonderful classes scheduled for 2011. We hope to see you all there!
The next meeting is Saturday, June 18th, 11:00 AM at the Lake Chelan Hospital Boardroom,
immediately inside the front doors and to the left. Scott Brundage is feeling better and will be with us to share "Civil War Anecdotes" You won't want to miss this one!

The Chelan Family History Center at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has reopened and is available for researching on the following days and times.
Tuesday: 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM with Bill and Judi Kruse
Wednesday: 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM with Calli Eli and a friend
The first Thursday of each month with Paul and Bettie Kenck

Please call ahead to verify that someone is there...we are just getting into the swing of it and have been a bit forgetful, so let us know ahead of time that you'd like to be there. By special arrangement Bill and I will accommodate researchers who need a different time. Call us at home and we will make arrangements. All of the society's books are there and best of all Ancestry is available FREE!

They will also take a photograph of the gravesite (with or without your floral tribute) for your family records. The fee for this service is $25. U.S. plus the cost of the bouquet for each grave requested. A SASE is required with your order so we can mail the photo. Use the address given above.
