WITCHES, AND GOBLINS, AND GHOSTS
OH MY!!
It was so much fun to see all the Trick-or-Treaters out
and about on Saturday night. Some of them were soooooo
cute, some were realllllly scary, and some were downright
funny! And wasn't it a bootiful night, too? I went down to
the Halloween dinner at the United Methodist Church and
took some pictures of the kids coming in for dinner. Every
year the Methodist Church provides a free Halloween
dinner to trick-or-treaters and their families so that the
families can have a good meal before the sugar overload
begins!

This meeting will welcome all new members into the society, and will also cover topics of interest concerning genealogical research in the Otoe County area. This meeting is open to all who are interested in joining the society, or just wish to attend to learn more about genealogical research in general.During this meeting we will be conducting our quarterly Genealogy Internet Workshop, where we will be introducing our members to the valuable genealogical resources that are available on the Internet. This workshop is designed to assist those researchers who are unsure of how to locate their family's history online. So if you are new to the Internet and would like assistance in this area, please stop by and join us in our free workshop. Also, for those visitors that prefer to research their ancestors through more conventional means, the library's Genealogical Reference Room will be open at this time, and assistance will be provided by society members in this area as well.
Our society meets on the second Thursday of every month at 7:00 pm, and our meeting location alternates every other month between the Otoe County Museum of Memories in Syracuse, and the Morton-James Public Library in Nebraska City. To learn more about the society, please check out our website, or contact the Morton-James Public Library for more information.
