Find it in the Past; Preserve it for the Future -- GCO Conference coming
up.
Salem, Oregon

Genealogists have an opportunity on October 4th and 5th to hear Cyndi
Howells of "Cyndislist" and more than a dozen outstanding speakers talk
about our favorite subject, genealogy. The Genealogical Council of
Oregon sponsors a state-wide conference every other year. This event
attracts people from all over the state. One year, a California couple
on motorcycles dropped in. They heard about the conference when they
were on the road and thought it sounded good. They had a perfectly
delightful time - as did all of the other attendees.

The conference is a bargain. The registration fee includes lunch and
dinner as well as options to hear five lectures and two meal speakers
per day. People who register before September 1st can take advantage of
the early registration discount. That is $50 for one day or $95 for both
days.

Once you have been to a conference, you know that the classes are only
one part of the event. Meeting new people and browsing the exhibit area
are two other powerful reasons to attend conferences. You can do both of
those at the GCO conference. We're sure that some of Oregon's finest
genealogists will attend. We know that the exhibitors will be top-notch.
The TreeHouse from Portland will be there with all of the new books. A
number of our Oregon genealogical societies have already signed up to be
in the exhibitor area.
