President’s Letter

Well, I blew it, I missed a February update, which is indeed a shame because our speaker, Barbara Matulich, a representative of The Mayflower Society, presented an excellent program which was helpful in assisting us to determine if we are descendants of anyone who was a passenger on the Mayflower. There were Martins (my maiden name was Martin) on the Mayflower, but sadly, they all perished during the first year.

On 7 March, our vice president, Janet Dagley, presented a most enjoyable and educational presentation on how to “Control Your Legacy with a Living Obituary”. Janet provided excellent handouts: one was a detailed 4-page handout containing prompts on those items we might want to include in an obituary. The other provided a links for sites on “Where to publish an obituary for free” and “Notable self-written obituaries”.

On 4 April, one of our favorite speakers, Jean Wilcox Hibben, will be educating us on “Engaging a Professional Genealogist: Who, What, When, Where, Why & How”.

We hope that you will join us at our temporary meeting location at the Mizell Center at 480 S. Sunrise Way, in Palm Springs. The meeting begins at 10:00 a.m. the first Saturday of each month.
