Call to Meeting, 6:30 MST on 18 February 2025

Kathy Kirkpatrick will speak on “Displaced Persons during WWII, 1939-1969”. Zoom link will be available shortly.

We have been unable to locate a speaker attending RootsTech for another presentation at that time. It appears that many are choosing the Virtual option for their RootsTech presentation.

We will hold a board meeting during our regularly scheduled meeting on 18 March to discuss upcoming projects and programs.

Looking forward to seeing and hearing from you all at these meetings!
