,GENERAL DGS NEWS
Volunteers are needed to sit at the desk in either a
regular weekly slot or to fill in on the substitute list. We
are looking for individuals to fill in when a regular
volunteer is out. If you're interested, email the Volunteer
Coordinator at Volunteer@dallasgenealogy.org or call
Patrick McKinney at 214-522-9356.PRESIDENT'S COLUMN
Change is definitely in the air. Crisp, windy days
with leaves starting to turn color-the signs of fall
and the ending of the year. We are also in the midst
of changing Presidents of the United States. There
is a lot of unknown right now with the economy.
DGS picked a Nomination Committee at the last
General Meeting, and they are fast at work, finding
a new Board of Directors. If you have not helped on
the Board and have a skill (almost everyone has a
skill if they are a genealogist), please consider
serving. It can be a blessing to everyone, including
you. This new Board will take office in mid-
December.
Nineteen of us are trekking to Salt Lake City this
year. Not everyone can go that wants to, but you
can order microfilm and microfiche at the Dallas
Public Library for a fee, as the library is considered
a Family History Center. The microfiche stays at
the library and is only 15 cents a sheet! If you order
microfilm and renew two times, it will stay
permanently at the library! It allows you to have a
"mini-Salt Lake Library" here, which will also help
other patrons who visit the Dallas Public Library.
The end of the year will be fast upon us, and so will
our Christmas Awards Banquet. In November, send
your reservation to:
celebration@dallasgenealogy.org. We need to
have an accurate count for the caterer. See you
there!

HAPPENINGS AROUND
DPL's 8TH FLOOR VOLUNTEER DESK
Becoming a volunteer is a great way to get involved and
meet others. We encourage those of you who may be
just starting out in your family research to volunteer a
few hours a week or a few hours a month. This is a
wonderful opportunity to become familiar with the
genealogy section of the library and spend some time
greeting visitors and meeting fellow researchers. And a
fantastic perk is free parking!I-

speaker presentation to follow about 7:30 p.m.with our
+ Come early. We begin at 6:00 p.m. with
refreshments and fellowship, and at 6:30 p.m.
everyone is invited to the informal Q & A session.
At 6:30, Lloyd Bockstruck (or substitute) hosts a pre-
meeting discussion where members and visitors can ask
any genealogically-related question. We expect that in
any group of Dallas genealogists, most questions can be
answered by someone in that group. After stopping off in
the East Room for refreshments, see what you can learn
and share. Please, no food or drinks in the auditorium.
The topics for this year's monthly meetings will
emphasize resources found within our own Dallas Public
Library. Be sure to check the website for future
speakers and topics.mompow-
