"Show & Tell" (and Treats) - Durham Branch's Dec. 5th Meeting

 

There’s Still Time! “Show&Tell” at Durham Branch’s December Meeting

via Zoom/Hybrid on Tues., Dec. 5th at 7:30 pm.

Come and join Durham Region Branch as we celebrate, with a hybrid meeting, our end-of-year Christmas social.  For decades, our end-of-year highlight event has brought us together – in a real room – to enjoy personal family history stories, along with tasty seasonal treats, hot apple cider, and a very unstructured sharing evening. Anything can be shown: photos, medals, heirlooms, a tricky piece of research or even a plea for help! 

The last 2 years’ virtual events were great successes followed by wonderful sharing sessions. 

The hybrid meeting drawback is that holding items up to a web camera is often not clear enough for all participants.  So, please send your images to Chair Nancy Trimble ahead of time. Her email is durhamchair@ogs.on.ca     Please include your name. 

Nancy will put your images or links into her PowerPoint presentation, so that she can call on you, either in person or on Zoom, to tell us all about your wonderful treasures or finds.

Kindly pre-register at the following Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwrdu2srD8jE9KDFk7mBmGvOK5BsE7UdZGP 

In-person will be in our Branch library on the 3rd floor at Northminster United Church, 676 Simcoe St. N., Oshawa, ON (NW corner of Simcoe Street North and Rossland Road West). Parking can be limited. 

If attending in person, bring a few treats. Drinks will be provided.

Get your hot cider and treats ready! We will have a great open session afterwards.

This year’s event will be hybrid, so this is an opportunity to gather together in person or keep our distance using Zoom. If you attend in person, please bring a few treats (drinks will be provided).

Show and Tell / Bring & Brag – on Zoom!!

 

For many years it has been Durham Region Branch's tradition to get together at our December meeting to enjoy personal family history stories, along with tasty seasonal treats and hot apple cider. 

We have celebrated members' special stories, interesting documents or artifacts, and genealogical breakthroughs.

This year is different - requiring physical separation; yet this is an opportunity to gather together - with the aid of modern technology.

Zoom is useful, but it has a drawback, in that holding items up to a web camera is often not clear enough for all participants.

So, if possible, when planning to show a web site, or document, or physical item, sending a link or photo to me, would be extremely helpful. My email is: - durhamchair@ogs.on.ca . I will put your photo in my PowerPoint and ask you to unmute and tell us the story at the appropriate time.

Refreshments are optional - Bring your own!! Relax in a comfortable chair and prepare to be amazed at what your fellow genealogists have discovered about their families and online research during all their free time this year.
