[Genealib] Workshop Timing

[Tracy Luscombe]

Actually, this was a topic in an online class I took recently. I have
found that summer and November - December are terrible times for
attendance. Also, consider what other events might draw from the
audience you want that have nothing to do with your library. Is there a
major event that might snarl traffic like a local high school playoff
game? Is another society having a program that day? Is there a parade
that might block off roads?

Happy New Year, Genealibbers:

Except for major holidays and graduation dates, I'm wondering how the
timing of a workshop affects attendance. In your experience, what
time(s) of year seem(s) to work best for theses events?

Thanks in advance,
