Join us at our next general membership meeting on Thursday, May 21 at 1:00 pm at the REC (1840 W. Houghton Lake Drive, Prudenville - next to the Splash and Dash). All are welcome!

After a brief business meeting, Donnie Boursaw will be presenting tips on how to index like a pro. There are several organizations dealing with historic documents and records that seek volunteer indexers, including FamilySearch and Ancestry. Donnie will explain what indexing is, how it is done, and how it is a simple way to contribute to the community of researchers. Best of all, it can be done from the comfort of your own home. Come join us - tomorrow at 1:00 pm.
