Dear Curt,

This is not about the new genealogy librarian position at ACPL.

We talked about the membership to the Indiana Genealogical Society at NGS in June 2006.  Our Technical Services Dept. at Danville Public Library are still getting Claim Letters for the Indiana Genealogical Society membership for 2006.

Thanks,


Roberta Allen
Director of Reference and Archives
Danville Public Library
319 N. Vermilion St.
Danville, IL 61832
