I apologize for repeats but don't want to leave out anyone.
Hi listers.
Thought I'd update you on the progress in plans for GenFest 2005. I don't have a
lot but promised to try and keep you posted as we go.
Our initial meeting included, Muncie Public Library, LDS Family History Center, Bracken
Library, Delaware County Historical Society and Minnetrista. I presented the concept to
all and everyone seemed enthusiastic. A few fresh ideas came up but nothing was set in
stone.
Our priority now is to find a date that lets all our main resource centers (those
mentioned above) be available. Minnestrista and Bracken both must work around some very
busy schedules and so then must we. For example: it would do us no good to plan
something that included Minnetrista if they have little parking left for our researchers.
Bracken has an even more serious consideration - if they are in interim, the library will
not/cannot be open at all. We are waiting these two sources and their availability of a
reliable calendar for 2005. At that point, we will meet again and set a date that fits
everyone's needs.
Also, I am bouncing things off Jane Torres who does the Darke County, OH ListFest each
year. Thank you, Jane for your patience and willingness to share your experience. (Jane
has invited Mike and I to ListFest in June!)
We're hearing some really wonderful ideas to make GenFest special.
