has gathered information on the Family History Center in Wausau, and Debby has sent members the
information. Let Debby know by the March 26 meeting if you plan to attend.

The Obituary Project has completed 48 years. At this time, the Rootsweb page is down so the pages
cannot be viewed.. The Vilas County News Review includes our project as an obituary link on their
site. We will talk with the Family History Center about including our Obituary Project.

Erica Brewster spoke about adopting a tote of books (100) while the library construction takes place,
preferably from the Genealogy Room. Each borrower will be given a list of the books they have
'borrowed', and the Genealogical Society members could possibly lend to each other. Erica will be
sending an email with further information to those who have signed up to give the books a good home.

Our March meeting and the following meetings until the library construction ends will be at the Reiter
Center the fourth Monday at 1 pm
