I have the Meeting Room at the Tysons-Pimmit Library researaved for 6 May and 3 June, after which I expect to take two or three months off for summer.
I plan to devote the meeting of 6 May to discussion of the recent FTDNA conference. I have asked Bill Hurst to lead off and tell us about his session at the conference and then I hope others who where there can join in a discussion to fill in details for those of us who were not able to make it this years.
I expect the meeting on 3 June to be devoted to introductory material specifically for some of our newer members and guests. I told the attendees last night that I was interested in receiving questions and I will organize future meetings around these questions, and the 3 June will be one of these "question and answers" meetings. Depending on what questions I get, we could devote an entire session to a single question or a class of related questions. Any time left over can be used for "questions from the floor" or general discussion.
Also if you have a topic of interest, please consider presenting it to the group. This can be done very informally, or a formal as you would like to make it. If you are uncomfortable in the preparateion or presentation, please let me know and I would be glad to work with you, or even lead the discussion. I have found the group to be neither shy or intimidating.
Please send me your questions and/or topics so that I can get started with organizing.
