Morning Class - Bill Cole 11:00 am to 12:00 pm, Saturday, October 20, 2018
Breathe Life Into Your Genealogy Through the Power of Story
Bill consideres himself a master storyteller and hopes to pass along his passion to you. He believes, "If history and genealgoy were taught in the form of stories, they would never be forgotten." In his talk, you will experience the power of story and learn systematic methods of how to construct stories. You will learn the answers to three key questions: 1) What are the elements of a good story? 2) What makes a story powerful? 3) What engages the audience in a story?
Lunch Break
12:00 pm to 1:00 pm, Saturday, October 20, 2018
You can brown bag, order delivery, scour Uptown Whittier for a quick lunch, or save all that hassle and just reserve a lunch that will be hot and ready for you at noon without having to go anywhere!
Join your fellow genealogists for fellowship, discussion, and lunch. Lunch will be a savory tortilla bean soup, along with dessert, beverage and more - and the suggested donation is still only $5.00!
WAGS General Meeting - Diane Henriks
1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, Saturday, October 20, 2018
Publishing Your Family History
Family History is a social science that involves other people. As you learn about family members and their experiences, you should share their story with others. Join Diane as she teaches you how to organize, prepare, and publish your family stories for your own family and the public.
