HCGS Local Sponsors of National Genealogical Society Conference

National Genealogical Society Conference 9-12 May 2012

Things are going great. Some of the paid sessions are now full. Conference hotels are full and other area hotels are being used. The exhibit hall is full. We hope to reach the attendance goal of 2000.

The Ohio Genealogical Society (OGS) and the Hamilton County Chapter of the OGS (HCGS) are sponsoring two events: the Tuesday Bus Trip of Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky and the Wednesday Night Museum Center Event. There are still some openings for each of these events. To register, see National Genealogical Society's Conference Information.

As local sponsors, OGS and HCGS are providing volunteers for the event. We are not asking anyone to volunteer and miss a session that you want to attend. We do need more volunteers to work at registration especially before the conference opens each day (including some on Tuesday). The stuffing day (for registration) and training day will be on Monday beginning at 9:00 a.m. I realize many of you will not be here that early but since most of you are already "trained professionals" at conferences you will need just a short refresher. If you can volunteer any time at the conference, please let Jean Nathan know at ngsvolunteers@gmail.com.

Hope to see many of you in Cincinnati.

Kenny Burck
President
Hamilton County Genealogical Society
