Lost Your Mind - Still Looking For It?
 
Well, maybe it's just all that mess of genealogical papers that has gotten the best of you.
Foothills Genealogical Society might have just what you need - and it's better than a string tied around your finger!
 
Why not try VeloBinding those loose papers, copies of text from books, quarterlies or family histories.
 
Foothills continues to offer low-cost Velo Binding services to its members.
 
For $1.50 your documents, up to 3/4 inch thick, can be secured in a professional binding. Clear plastic covers are available for an additional $1.00. Black, red or white binding strips are offered. All staples should be removed, and there should be at least a 1/2 inch left margin, preferably more, to avoid losing part of the text in the binding process.
 
Contact Office Manager Julie McKeown (303-278-3908) or jmckeown@tde.com or Gail Seto (720-422-8118) for an appointment or for more information.

PROGRAM
 
"WHAT JOHN'S DNA REVEALS"
Presented by
John Simmons
 
A lighthearted look at the wonderful world of DNA as it applies to genealogy.  John will get us throught the tought stuff and then show how DNA testing provided new ways for him to reach beyond his brick wall.
 
Retired from the working world, but still without enough time to pursue it fully, John has been working on family history for many years and has had a special interest in genetic genealogy since 2003.  He finds family history of long ago very engaging, but four grandchildren help keep him up to date on the present also.
