| The Genealogical Forum of Oregon
is immediately closing its library in Portland until April 1. We will
re-evaluate that status later based on how the coronavirus progresses in
our community. In addition, here is a full summary of all GFO Events canceled and rescheduled: ▪ Canceled Special Interest Group meetings and Volunteer Work Parties. ▪ Canceled GenTalk about PERSI on March 21. ▪ Rescheduled the free Genealogy Open House to Sept. 25-Oct. 4. ▪ Rescheduled the DNA Seminar with Karen Stanbary to August 8-9. Tonight
the Multnomah County Library system announced it is closing all
branches immediately. An epidemiologist I’ve personally consulted
believes we should do the same. A majority of the GFO Executive Committee has agreed we should do the same. We
need to control the contagion. If closing our library to the public
helps to “flatten the curve,” as epidemiologists say, then we want to
play our part. |
