STORY OF BRANTLEY COUNTY, VOLUME II
AND BRANTLEY COUNTY CONFEDERATES
The Society is working on two new books and need your help with stories. Our guidelines and rules are listed below. Presently we have not established deadlines for the books, but ask you to get your stories in as soon as possible. You may contact any officer for help, if needed.
Beginning Wednesday, August 26, 2009, we will be holding workshops at the Mumford Library of the Confederate Soldiers Park Complex in Waynesville for the purpose of helping you write your stories for these books.
We will meet with you each Wednesday from 9 a.m.- 2 p.m. until further notice.
Our newly elected Vice Pres. Chuck Connors of the Brantley County Historical Society and Preservation Society, Inc. announces that in addition to our Writing Workshop on Wednesday from 10-2 at the Confederate Soldiers Park in Waynesville, the Society will be collecting family stories at various churches.
You may email him at chuckc@btconline.netfor a handout to record family information. Please take the time to record the family information requested on the handouts. The handouts will show you some of the information we need for your family story.
Everyone is invited to attend these meeting regardless of where you live. We welcome you.
Remember the history of tomorrow is the current events of today. In our volume one book, we had stories of your parents and grandparents. Many of you now have families of your own and we need your story.
Please address any questions to Vice Pres. Connors at the above email address or to Dorothy J. Thomas at djt1927@comcast.net.
