Subject: [USGW-Discuss] FGS Conference - Day 3
Yesterday was another busy day. The USGenWeb presentations were well
attended as was the panel discussion. Most of the people at the
panel discussion were people who wanted to know more about the
project, how it worked, how much time was involved for a volunteer
and how to adopt a county.
The highlight at the booth yesterday was the man who stopped by and
sang us the Iowa state song (and did a good job of it). We had more
people new to the Project stopping by because they heard about the
project from a fellow attendee or in one of the sessions. The people
manning the computers were kept busy all day. We also had several
return visitors who had logged on the night before and stopped by to
praise the project or to tell us about something they found.
The list of people who want to volunteer, in one way or another,
continues to grow.
Once again I'm passing on the many, many "thank you" messages from
the people who stopped by.
Tina and I stopped by the recording booth yesterday to find out how
you can order tapes from the sessions. We found you can order
packages for 25.00 or individual sessions for 1.99. A list of the
recorded sessions can be found at:
