In search of: Family storytellers!

If you are, or have a family member, that has a lot of
family stories that you want to share with others, the
CCHGS wants you to come to one of our meetings and
spread the word! In return, we will record your stories
(video, to be transferred to DVD) so you can pass
it down for generations. We all have those older folks
in the family that can talk for days about the
"good ole days" and once those people are gone, a lot of
times their stories go with them. This is a chance for you
to save those stories and pass them down for generations.
If interested, email me at billgpiper@hotmail.com and we
can iron out the details. Ideally we would want
the stories to run about 30 minutes.
