>>From Curt B. Witcher, F.U.G.A., National Data Input Coordinator
>(Delivered to the Federation of Genealogical Societies Board of
>Directors, Cincinnati, Ohio, 18 August 1998)
>
>The Federation and the genealogical community are beginning to realize
>some of the positive public relations benefits of having successfully
>engaged in this multi-year, national volunteer endeavor. As the CWSS is
>nearing the conclusion of the volunteer input stage of the names index,
>articles are appearing in various local papers and on some national wire
>services about this exciting project. A recent example was carried on
>the AP wire regarding Terry Moyer and his truly outstanding corps of 440
>Utah volunteers.
>
>Further, in ceremonies at Ford's Theater (Washington, DC) on Friday,
>July 17, 1998, the Federation and the Genealogical Society of Utah were
>officially recognized for their efforts in making the CWSS a success.
>FGS President David Rencher, Terry Moyer, and Bill Ward were able to
>attend and to accept the thanks and recognition on behalf of the two
>organizations.
>
>The following day, both societies participated in the official
>dedication of the memorial to honor the United States Colored Troops,
>"The Spirit of Freedom." It was truly exciting to see the tangible
>results of years of work. I am positive the excitement will continue to
>grow as more data is prepared and launched on the National Park's Web
>site. On the day of the dedication there was much activity in a nearby
>heritage center, before and after the event, interested people of all
>ages looking at informative displays and huddling around a half dozen
>computers, looking for possible ancestors among the CWSS files.
>
>The close of the 1998 year has been established as the target for
>completion of all volunteer input. We are currently just over 80%
>completed. Major reconnaissance activities are underway. Every volunteer
>unit with input batches outstanding is being contacted and asked to
>complete the batches in the next six weeks or forward them to the Utah
>Volunteer Corps.
>
>The end is in site, significant numbers of volunteers still stand
>at-the-ready if any assistance is needed to complete tasks, and funds
>remain in the budget to cover expected closure expenses. There is every
>indication that the project will be completed successfully. This
>endeavor has been a most worthwhile project for the Federation and a
>sign of our ability to marshal resources for the greater good of the
>genealogical community.
