FYI, those of you who might be interested in attending. I am going to try to
put together a flyer for the COGenWeb. If anyone has any ideas please get
with me this week or next.
I am running a bit behind as I am just recovering from a bad case of either
bad food or stomach flue. To put it mildly, Christmas was not fun for me this
year. <G>

<< Things have been moving a bit fast on the GenTech thing.... We have been
given a booth at no charge --- Booth 37... I have paid the fee for the
electrical hookup and Tina Vickery (THANKS!!!!) is paying for the phone
hookup so we can have live demos of USGenWeb Project pages and live chat
sessions.
On Saturday we will have two laptops hooked up to regular monitors. One
will have a looping USGenWeb project presentation and the other will be
used for the online stuff. Saturday booth coverage is set and Friday booth
coverage is being arranged. Betsy has volunteered to check our hookups for
electric and phone first thing as she is arriving Thursday night and will
also bring whatever brochures and such I can get sent off to her ahead of
time.
The thing I need most and all of you can help... is brochures, flyers, mini
flyers (1/3 of a page both sides) for states and counties... we really
ought to have as big a selection and variety of printed promotional
material to spread out on the table as we can showing off the variety and
breadth of the project to the visitors. Saturday GenTech is having a
special family History Day promotion that will bring in a lot of people at
a reduced rate... aimed at the beginning genealogist or beginning with
computerized genealogy anyway. Please don't let your state be unrepresented
in the handouts!!!!
I have slapped together a page about USGenWeb at Gentech at:

with a list of who has said they are coming at:
