Meetings to be announced.

Have ideas for a meeting you'd like to attend, a

project on which you'd like to work, or an article you'd

be willing to submit? Our society is headed by a group

of hard working volunteers who need your help.

We want to make this year the greatest year ever for the Gaston-Lincoln Genealogical Society

and if each of you pitches it just a little we can

reach that goal. Please let us know how you can help.
