Yesterday, Saturday 6th June, the society held their June monthly meeting. The appreciative audience (including visitors) experienced a wonderful afternoon due to Chris Cook's presentation. Chris had been part of the team who researched and presented on the Bruce McAvaney episode of Who Do You Think You are. She explained the processes involved behind the production and played the last section of the program which focussed on Mildura (where she featured). Thank you Chris for your entertaining presentation. It happened to be the 48th birthday of our society so a birthday cake was enjoyed by members and visitors at afternoon tea.

Yesterday, Saturday 18th April, members attended and enjoyed a workshop based on writing your family history. The workshop was conducted by Barb Kelly who completed a university degree in writing at RMIT. The information provided was, interesting, useful and entertaining as Barb used many examples and photographs to illustrate her presentation. Thank you Barb Kelly for a wonderful day.

At our April monthly meeting ( thank you to those who were able to attend) member Wayne Hensgen was our guest speaker. He explained to an appreciative audience the use and features of the web site Find a Grave. It is hoped that Wayne can repeat this to a larger audience in the future.
There was also a belated thank you to Chris Celegon who spoke at our March meeting. She revisited her presentation from our Christmas function and explained how she was able to put it together.
Thank you Chris and Wayne.
