Thurs. 22 Feb 2007 - Our PGS February Meeting was held at the Door County Library here in Sturgeon Bay where we worked on sprucing up the Indexes and other Door County Genealogy Helps by putting what was dog-eared into new binders and sleeve protectors.
It really felt good to help out the Laurie History Room and were glad to see all the Indexes etc. were being well used by library patrons!
After all our hard work we had refreshments at our local Mickey-D's.
We worked like fiends to get done in the two hours alloted to us before the Library closed.
