[Genealib] For West Virginians, wherever they may be

[Susan Scouras]

If you know any of your library patrons are West Virginians (we hope
they will have retained an interest in history and genealogy and will be
found in your libraries), if you are a West Virginian who won the Golden
Horseshoe award in the 8th grade, or know someone who did, please pass
this on:
 
West Virginia Golden Horseshoe Reunion on June 19
All Knights and Ladies of the West Virginia Order of the Golden
Horseshoe have been invited by Governor Joe Manchin III and First Lady
Gail Manchin to return to Charleston for a reunion on June 19, 2009.
First awarded in 1931, over 15,000 West Virginia youngsters have earned
the Golden Horseshoe Award by demonstrating their knowledge of West
Virginia history through the Golden Horseshoe test administered annually
to eighth grade students in West Virginia schools. To learn more about
the Golden Horseshoe program and to access a searchable database of
award recipients visit
http://www.wvculture.org/HISTORY/wvmemory/goldenhorseshoe.html. If you
are a Knight or a Lady and would like to attend the reunion, you must
register by May 15. Online registration and printable registration forms
are available at http://www.wv.gov/ghreunion/Pages/default.aspx.
