Our December 13th meeting will be at the Benton County PUD Auditorium in Kennewick on the corner of Hwy #395 and 10th Street.

Beginning Genealogy Class: Genealogy Education – 6:15 p.m. to 6:45 p.m.

Program: 7:00 p.m.

Members and guests are asked to bring items about your family heritage/history as well as what you interests you have.

1. Photographs

2. Documents

3. Family heirlooms, antiques

4. Hobbies, collections or recreation interests

Your legacy will one day be handed down to your children/grandchildren/great-grandchildren and they will want to know what hobbies and collections you had as a child/teenager or as an adult. So, bring whatever you use to collect or still collect or photographs or a sample of what you use to collect as a kid/young adult.

You can display your family photographs and documents on a poster or a tri-fold or on the table.

This will be a fun event for everyone to have a glimpse of your family history as well as the antiques/heirlooms, hobbies and collections that you either inherited or have or previously engaged in.

Heather Murphy will bring her “ShotBox” to demonstrate as well as for anyone to use, so please bring your own cell phone or a smart phone which may be even better. Please bring your own photos/small items to be photographed. For more information/description of the ShotBox, please see their website:

Please bring homemade or store bought cookies, candies, fudge, muffins, quick breads (banana, zucchini, apple, pumpkin), cake, etc.  Beverages of water and/or 7-up/Sherbet will be provided.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for your continued interest in TCGS.
