Subject: [PAGREENE] Abstracting Workshop at NGS Pittsburgh Conference
Date: Fri, 23 May 2003 11:14:09 -0400

One of the sessions at the NGS conference at the David Lawrence
Convention Center in Pittsburgh to be held May 28-31 is quite popular but
has a room limit, so they will add a repeat session. This is a very
unique opportunity to get the information directly from the author of the
Abstracting chapter in "Professional Genealogy: A Manual for Researchers,
Writers, Editors, Lecturers, and Librarians." Its popularity may also
stem from the fact that it is being underwritten by the BCG Education
Fund which means there is no additional charge for the workshop as there
are with others. Below is an announcement from the President of the
sponsoring organization, the Board for Certification of Genealogists.

-- Elissa Scalise Powell, CGRS
Participating Societies Chairperson for NGS 2003


Interest in the Abstracting Records for Accuracy and Success Workshop
sponsored by the BCG Education Fund has been overwhelming. As of last
week,
almost 100 conference registrants indicated an interest in attending the
session. The lecture room, though, will only hold 50, since it is set up
in a
classroom style to allow for the hands-on work.

Not wanting to disappoint those interested in this important research
skill,
Mary McCampbell Bell, CLS, CGL, has agreed to repeat the workshop. The
scheduled session will still be held on Friday morning from 8 am to noon.
The
additional session is set for Saturday at the same time. As a courtesy to
both
the instructor and other attendees, everyone should plan on devoting the
entire
morning to this session.

Room assignments will be included in the conference brochure that is part
of
registration materials. For other last minute details and information, be
sure
to check at the BCG Booth, #306, in the Exhibit Hall.

To those of you who know individuals not on this list with an interest in
the
Workshop, please pass along this information to them. Knowing about the
additional session may help them plan their conference time in advance.

And to all of you, the trustees of the BCG Education Fund hope to see you

during the conference.
