 UPCOMING MEETINGS

Showcasing Family Memories
Sondra Ettlinger is a prize-winning digital photographer who has created slide show presentations using her genealogical material. Weaving family photos into a story board and putting it all together into a meaningful production has created a living diary for current family members and for those yet to come. Her lecture illustrates some of the interesting ways you can entertain your family and friends with the genealogical data you have gathered.
Included will be information on ways to publish a book, create a wall chart or make a family cook book as well as ways to create personal slide shows for family events. http://www.ettlingerproductions.com/
