Monday, November 4, 2024, BVGS Meal Out

Botna Valley Genealogy Society will meet at Sue's Kitchen at the Embers in Avoca, Iowa, on Monday, November 4, for the final meeting of the 2024 year.  Plan to arrive around 11:00 a.m. for lunch followed by an afternoon of other activities.  It was suggested that we visit the one-room country school at Edgington Memorial Park in Avoca and also the Sweet Vale of Avoca Museum.  Those places have been added to the agenda for all who wish to participate.  

We had a good October meeting!  Of special interest was the program given by Pam where we learned how to scan odd-sized negatives which also works with regular negatives and slides.  Pam did a great job with her presentation, and those in attendance learned a lot!!

Even though we will not be meeting in December, January or February, members are encouraged to work in the Genie Room any time the Library is open on projects that need done.  Check with your President if you have any questions as to what can be done.

Old Business:  Just a Reminder:  Since most all of our members have Internet and Email access, it was voted that we send out the newsletter as a .pdf file in an email to all members.  Also, there is a link on this website to the current newsletter PLUS complete issues back to 2013.  Anyone wishing a printed copy would be able to print their own from either the website or the .pdf file.  We will send out newsletters to those few individuals who do not have Internet/Email access.  They will be printed in our Genie Room.  It was voted that the newsletter continue thru year 2022.  (Last newsletter printed was June 30, 2023.)
