The folks in Sarasota are holding a conference this Saturday and are in
need of participation:
"I'm Vicky Scott and I've sent e-mails and asked you to announce our
conference on the 28th of January. I'm writing again because I need it
to continue to be announced. Our response has been underwhelming, a lot
of the publicity we counted on fell through and we have no way to
recover except to continue to ask all genealogy groups in Florida to
continue to announce this event at their meetings and via e-mail if
possible.
We have three excellent speakers. Leaders and forerunners in the
Genetics/Genealogy arena. Our moderator and emcee has a PhD in
biology. We are giving out four door prizes; they are DNA test
certificates a value of up to $100 each. And last but not least, we
have a 128 page reference that includes articles, websites and books all
either on the genetics side or genealogy and in several instances both.
Again, this is an all day conference called: DNA: Genetics and
Genealogy, A Scientific Approach to Research. We will open the doors at
8 am for registration and the program will begin at 9:00 at Sahib Shrine
Center, 600 N. Beneva Road , Sarasota, FL. For additional information
people may contact: GSS. FL. USA(a)gmail.com <mailto:USA@gmail.com> or go
to the website:

additional information.
The price will be $45.00 and if I'm e-mailed with the name of people
that will be attending and paying at the door by Friday, I will make
sure there is printed material available for everyone and they will be
having lunch there. I think this is a remarkable value and sure prove
to be an outstanding event.
Thank you for your help,
Vicky Scott
Genealogical Society of Sarasota"
