Subject: [NCMECKLE-L] Update on the Mecklenburg Heritage Book Project
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Hello List!
Just a quick update on the Mecklenburg Co., NC
Heritage book project. We're receiving responses
from many and are certain to get more. The
Mecklenburg County Heritage - NC Vol. I is
underway! Just so you know, this is not SPAM, we
are not selling anything. We simply want to have
the best County Heritage Book ever printed in North
Carolina, and you're invited to help!
Eligibility is very generous; you reside in
Mecklenburg or have roots here! We will keep working
on-line for the next few weeks and then announce a
meeting later this Summer to fully detail the
project, this will be a public forum, open to all.
Lets limber up those typing fingers and dust off
some of the old family photos... (getting ready to
go to Walmart to make duplicate photos). We're
making a book and y'all are invited to be a part of
it!
For more information contact:

Warmest Regards,
Sheila Weaver
