POINT
Workshops 2008
August 18-23, 2008 - Salt Lake City, UT (note change of
location and date) Ruth Merrimann (#4887) will be
giving a series of five talks on five different topics related to
Italian genealogy, at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, one
each morning, from Monday, August 18, 2008, through Friday, August, 22.
Ruth will repeat the entire series of five talks on Saturday, August
23, 2008, allowing attendees to arrive any time during the week and
still hear all her talks.
There will be the
opportunity for POINTers attending this series to have Ruth and other
Library staff members pre-arrange to have any films needed pulled from
the vaults and ready upon arrival, and to help with the reading and
interpretation of any records found. This was a very
popular feature of our POINT National Conference in Salt Lake City in
2002.
All of the above will be FREE OF CHARGE! We
are planning to have a meeting of POINTers In Person chapter leaders
and representatives following Ruth’s talk on Friday morning,
and a POINT banquet on Friday evening, at a location yet to be decided.
POINTers
will be responsible for their own transportation, lodging and meals.
There
will be more information on the cost of the banquet later.
