We are beginning the third year of our fund drive for Palm Creek's Cancer Awareness Charity. Last year we were able to donate $200. This money was raised by researching an ancestor for clients who signed up at our table at the monthly Craft Fairs. For a $5 donation we found some type of record for that ancestor. Records located included census pages, birth, marriage or death records, passenger lists, etc.
A big thank you to members who participated by researching an ancestor for a fellow Palm Creek resident and to those who helped by volunteering at the Craft Fair tables last season.
Tuesday, December 10, we will begin soliciting clients for the coming year's efforts. Several club members have already volunteered to staff the table Tuesday. It would be helpful to have one more volunteer willing to work from 11-12. An ancillary benefit to this activity is that it has proven to be an effective membership recruiting program, as it helps to create an awareness of our club.
We have a sign-up sheet available during workshops if anyone is interested in doing research this year.
