Dear Manasota Genealogical Society members & friends,

As editor of the CRACKER CRUMBS I am receiving a lot of positive feedback
from readers on our newest issue. THANKS. You are right we did have a great
team of contributors; I am simply amazed by the results:

I have also received email from folks who are getting back into town and are
writing to inquire about our first meeting. Remember, we meet Oct-May
usually on the first Wednesday of the month in the auditorium of the Manatee
Central Library in Bradenton, FL beginning at 10am. After lunch, we usually
hold a workshop in the same room. See the schedule below for details.

The calendar of regional genealogy events for Sept/Oct/Nov 2005 are located
on page 18-19 of the CRUMBS.

The scheduled topics for our Oct 2005-May 2006 general meetings & workshops
are located on page 9, reproduced below. Submitted by MGS Vice President
Jean Morris <> For a map and directions to the meeting
place, see our website: www.rootsweb.com/~flmgs/map.htm
