Jamboree 2017: Societies - Do You Want to Swap?

Is Jamboree Coming to Your Area? 

Societies: Do You Want to Swap "Stuff"?

Jamboree is hitting the road and traveling the countryside, telling one and all about the upcoming fun at Jamboree. So far, we have been in Salt Lake City for RootsTech, Whittier for WAGS, and the Queen Mary ScotsFest in Long Beach and have plans to visit Orange County at the Genealogy BASH, Discover Your Roots, and other local meetings and events.

In addition to the in-person appearances, we will be sending material for the registration bags and/or freebie table to other genealogy events near and far. 

If you would like one of our ambassadors to visit, please send us a note at jamboree@scgsgenealogy.com and we'll see what we can do to get someone there. 

If you are hosting a full-day seminar or multi-day conference and would like to have SCGS information available for your participants please send us a message at scgspackandship@gmail.com with the following information:

Check Your Mailbox - The Postal Mailbox!

In the next few weeks, you may be seeing a Jamboree postcard delivered to your mailbox by your friendly neighborhood mail carrier.

We are rather proud of this years' postcard and had some fun thinking of all the wonderful things it could be used for.  Enjoy.

Top 10 Uses for the Jamboree Postcard

1. Put on your "bills to pay" pile to remind you to register
2. Pin it on the bulletin board at your genealogical society, historical society, senior center, library, church, or anywhere else that people can see it
3. Pass it along to a cousin or genealogy buddy with a not-so-subtle suggestion to plan a weekend of learning and fun together
4. As a bookmark for those rare non-electronic books
5. Copy and send it to 7 friends promising genealogical riches if they don't break the chain
6. Pass it on to the next generation by using it in a mobile above the crib (you're never too young to learn about the joy of family research)
7. Bring it with you to Jamboree and hunt down the Artist - it'll be a collector's item one day, and you'll be glad you have that autograph!
8. Use it as a mini-fan when you are out shopping so people will ask you about it
9. Tape it to your front door so your visitors/pesky solicitors have something to talk about
10. Tape it to the bathroom mirror to have something pretty to look at (just kidding - you're beautiful, and we know it! Sometimes we have a little too much fun here in Jamboreeland in the wee small hours)

If you'd like a batch of these to put out, please email us at jamboree@scgsgenealogy.com or scgspackandship@gmail.com and tell us HOW Many, by WHEN, and WHERE to send them. If you're in the area, drop on by and pick them up the next time you're at the SCGS Library. We'll have them ready and waiting for you.

The Genealogy Craze

What fun I had listening to "The Genealogy Craze," a radio interview on Minnesota Public Radio.

Megan Smolenyak2 and Bennett Greenspan, both of whom will be speaking at Jamboree this year, did a great job during the one-hour interview. You can listen to it here:
