We can't wait to see you again at 7:00 pm, Monday, September 16, for our fall kick-off. Watch the website and The Kalamazoo Valley Heritage newsletter for program details.

 

Our September meeting is hybrid to accommodate all our members and guests. You can attend in person at the Portage District Library located at 300 Library Lane, Portage, MI, or virtually through Zoom. Socializing and refreshments will start at 6:30 pm at the library. KVGS members will receive a meeting reminder with a Zoom registration link a few days before the meeting. You can also register on Zoom through the EVENTS page on our website.

 

Some exciting events are lined up for you before our September 16 meeting. We invite you to visit our website's RESEARCH TRIPS pages to learn more about our plans for a trip to Washington, D.C. This is a unique opportunity to delve into your genealogical research. All are welcome. We would be thrilled if you could join us. Two Zoom informational meetings about the trip are scheduled at 7:00 pm on Wednesdays, July 10, and August 7. You can register for the Zoom meetings through the EVENTS page on our website.

 

The EVENTS page has two other activities that will catch your eye. The 2024 Kalamazoo Scottish Festival and Highland Games will be held in Kindenberger Park on September 7, and the Canadiana Festival will be held at Kalamazoo's Arcadia Festival site on September 21. Be sure to check them out.

 

Suppose you missed an earlier program, such as our informative May program "Planning a Research Vacation and Washington, D.C. Trip," with VP/Program Chair Jim Jackson and his guest panel of seasoned researchers, or one of our Skills Sessions, you will find program recordings and handouts from many programs under our website's MEMBERS section and then in the RECORDINGS/HANDOUTS section. Please remember to sign in as a member first.

 

We are eagerly looking forward to seeing you on September 16!
