CSAGSI President's Message
September 2002
Greetings Fellow Genealogists
It has been a very busy and enjoyable year since you elected me your president. I have tried to keep your interests in mind while performing my required duties as president of our Society. I have tried to keep you informed of all upcoming Ethnic Events and Genealogy Conferences in the hope that you would be able to track down more of your ancestors. I hope you have learned some new tricks and tips from our guest speakers in order to help you with your family tree. I hope you think I have done well.
If you have not been on a guided tour of our Bohemian National Cemetery yet, please mark your calendars for October 6. On that morning, BNC will have complimentary coffee and kolackys in the office prior to their annual inspection tour of the cemetery and the dedication of a new section exclusively for babies called "BABY HAVEN." After the 1 1/2 hour walking tour, you will conclude, as I have, that BNC is a treasure of Cemetery Art. Your tour guide will explain the meanings behind the many ornamentals contained in the various statuary monuments. I have been on three tours and each has been different and has taught me more about the state of mind of my ancestors when their time came.
Please listen to the Czech Radio Hour at 9 A.M. on Sunday morning on WCEV (1450 AM). Sponsored by both the BNC and CSA, the music is good and the announcements may be of interest to you.
Our Christmas party this year will be on December 7 at the VFW Hall at 26th & Des Plaines Avenue. Mike & Sally will be our entertainment. Sign up at the meeting, call one of our officers, or send an e-mail. Space is limited to 125 members and guests.
We are in the preliminary stages of planning our Spring conference to be held at the William Tell Holiday Inn on March 29, 2003.
Our meeting dates are: January 18, 2003; June 7, 2003; August 23, 2003; October 25, 2003; and our Christmas party will be on December 6, 2003.
Bill
