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 county/state be
unrepresented in the handouts!!!!
I have slapped together a page about USGenWeb at Gentech at:

No matter how right you are, how brilliant your ideas, or how clearly you
see the other guy's faults... if you can't make your point in a
reasonable, non-aggressive way... then just DON'T make it here!
