PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE - December 2021

The holiday season is upon us and I hope when you gather with your family members you will take advantage of sharing memories and stories. Before you have your family gathering take time to research some webinars on storytelling. With the technology of today you can easily capture stories from your relatives by recording them on a cell phone, computer or tablet. Pull out old photos to get conversations started. Every one loves reminiscing over photos of parents and grandparents. These stories will be a treasure for your family history.

SGES plans to begin in-person meetings in January 2022. Our first in-person meeting will be held at the Kori Road Library located at 3330 Kori Road, Jacksonville, FL 32257. This meeting will be held on Saturday, January 8, 2022, at 10:00 am. Dr. Brent Mai will be speaking on "Vogel Germans." Also at this meeting we will elect new officers for the SGES Executive Board and install those officers for the 2022 year.

We wish you a safe and happy holiday and look forward to seeing everyone in January 2022.

Sincerely,

Carol Clay, President
