[CA--SCGS] The Searcher is Going On Hiatus

 

The Searcher Is Going on Hiatus

By Alice Fairhurst, Editor and SCGS President

It is time to re-imagine The Searcher.  Times are changing and more societies are no longer sending out printed journals or newsletters. 

SCGS is looking for a team leader who can chair a committee to envision new possibilities that fit the changing needs of our members.  In the meantime, society news is available on our website, through the SCGS and Jamboree blogs and Facebook pages and Twitter.  Access to all information is available through our website, scgsgenealogy.com.  Don’t forget to check the electronic calendar.

If you have ideas to contribute on this subject, please email searcher@scgsgenealogy.com
