GenTech is having their annual convention in Mesquite Texas in February 2
and 3rd (Friday and Saturday). Their special events web page (
http://www.gentech.org/2001brochure/special.htm ) advertises:
National Volunteer Group Meetings
Mark your schedule to include the first-ever RootsWeb
and USGenWeb nationwide group meetings on
Saturday at 5:00. Activists, prospective volunteers and
users have the opportunity to network and sound off
with ideas, improvements and plans. Meet the movers
and shakers and let yourself be heard. Should this
develop into dinner plans, then enjoy!
There has been some discussion about this on some of the lists and perhaps
some uncertainties about how this all developed due to the semantics of the
word meeting. First, as a Board member I would like to assure everyone that
there has been no plan made to have an official meeting implying decision
making and that sort of activity. In fact, most of the Board was totally
unaware of the event. It does seem that what was intended was a meeting in
the sense of a get-together.
Sooo... I would like to extend an invitation to all who can manage to be
there on Saturday evening about 5 PM (see the bottom of
http://www.gentech.org/2001brochure/saturday.htm ) to come and meet your
fellow volunteers. Registration details and other information are available
at the GenTech site:
http://www.gentech.org/2001brochure/
but as this does not include any special registration or signing up for the
USGenWeb get together on Saturday evening, I would love to hear from those
who plan to attend so we can start a list of who will be there (and maybe
start making some of those dinner plans referred to above <grin>). I've
started the list at:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~nygenweb/gentech.html
soooo... come join me on it <grin>
Please feel free to forward this wherever you think some volunteers might
see it. Let's make it a party!!!!
