Subject: 5th Annual Scott Co, TN Get Together Announcement
Date: Sat, 05 Feb 2005 21:24:52 -0500


Many of you have been asking. We can tell you now that the logistics
are beginning to finalize.

The 5th Annual Scott Co, TN Researchers Get-Together will be held
Tuesday, 31 May 2005, in Oneida at the Helenwood Baptist Church starting
at 10am and going until we tire out. If you have research interests in
the Scott Co area (and adjoining counties) then this is the event for
you. Last year was a tremendous time and we exchanged a lot of useful
information. So come prepared to share your histories, pictures,
stories, and friendship. Parking is plentiful. We will set out a
contribution plate to cover the cost of the room plus food and drink.
Excess contributions will be given to the Scott County Historical
Society. Please let us know if you plan to attend so we can plan
appropriately by filling out the RSVP form on the Scott Co, TN website..

Some of you may be wondering why we are not doing the get-together
during the usual 3rd week in June. The answer is the National
Genealogical Society (NGS) annual convention/conference is being held in
Nashville, TN from 1 Jun thru 4 Jun. Sue Posey and I are going to go to
the conference immediately following the get-together. I only get to
come to TN for one week a year so we moved the week up. I feel bad
enough that Sam and Will (my daughter and son) won't be able to come
this year because their school year won't be over yet. This will be the
first time my daughter has not come down with me to TN---she's not a
happy camper.

Some of you may also be wondering why we are not doing the get-together
at the FST Bank in Oneida like we've done since the first get-together.
The room we used has a mold problem especially on the right side of the
room (entering from the front of the building). FST Bank has not
replaced the carpeting and the mold problem is getting worse--well, it
bothers me. So we decided to make a change.

BTW, I highly recommend attending the NGS conference if you can swing
it. You will have access to the Tennessee Library and State Archives,
the numerous conference sessions focused on TN research, and a vendor
convention of all things genealogy (the biggest of year for the U.S.).
Go to the link below if you want to learn more. You do not need to be
an NGS member to attend.
