Recap from the SGS President

The business meeting of the Tacoma, Wash., SGS Reunion began on Sept. 7, 2001. Topics of discussion included presentation of minutes, treasurer’s report, establishment of area coordinators, and membership totals (384). A draft tri-fold brochure was presented to the membership as an option for attracting new members, and Kathie Olsen reported that the Seventh-Generation book was almost sold out, and recommended a second run (which was approved). Kathie also discussed the importance of documentation guidelines for amending SGS publications. Terry Tietjens provided a report on the Seelye Research Center and requested some organizational assistance. Lectures included a workshop on beginning genealogy, a discussion of genealogical resources available in the Tacoma area, and hardware and software needs for genealogy. Marshall Seelye presented a plaque to Dan Seelye as a token of appreciation for his outstanding efforts. Dan presented the Society a gavel to be passed along for use by future SGS Presidents.
