We’ve upgraded our Flickr Account!
We have so many pictures to share with everyone we have upgraded our Flickr account to a Pro account! This allows us to add many more photos and organize them so that they are easier for you to look through.
Don’t forget to contact Muriel Wilson if you have photos that you’d like to share with us.
November Meeting
The St George Historical Society will meet on November 3rd, 6:00pm at the home of Adam and Alexis Sparks to review the new webpage and discuss any other new business.
Contact Adam for directions.
We’ve moved!
Well, our webpage has moved.
At our last meeting a decision was made to move to a new server, so we’ve moved and have a new look and new page. As a result if you had signed up previously as a member of the page you will need to sign up here again if you wish to leave comments on stories, pages, or posts.
Also as a result some of our files aren’t up to date yet. We will be adding PDF files and links to images as we have time. All of our content is still here. A decision is yet to be made on the history questionnaire, but we do have the results from those of you who already filled it out and submitted it.
December Historical Society Meeting
The December meeting has been rescheduled for December 9, 4:00pm. We will be discussing the possible February dinner and auction. We need volunteers for this fundraiser, as it’s going to be our biggest one yet, so if anyone would like to help out in any way, please come to the meeting or contact a member of the Society.
Until then, be sure to check out the new photo gallery at Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stgeorgehistory/.
New Photo Gallery Started
As of the last meeting it was decided to use a photo gallery package that was more user friendly.
Flickr, http://www.flickr.com/ was suggested.
I’ve set up a flickr account and started to upload and categorize images.
You can find the images here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stgeorgehistory/
Until all images are uploaded and commented the photo gallery linked in the main menu above will continue to be active.
Spread the Word!
Please help spread the word about the St. George Historical Society! Due to exceptionally low turnouts at the past few meetings, we’ve had to forego fundraisers since Fun Day in August; and we were undermanned then, too. We simply do not have the volunteers to help put on events. St. George is a small town, so we’re not expecting a huge turnout at meetings, but, if you don’t have anything planned for November 4, at 4:00pm please stop by St. George Elementary room #112. As of the October meeting, no fundraisers have been scheduled due to limited manpower.
October Meeting
October’s meeting will be in Room 112 of St. George Elementary. We will be kicking around ideas for an October fundraiser (perhaps something around Halloween), and discussing a Historical Society newsletter, so come with ideas!
