For those of you interested in the session by Deborah Carder Mayes, titled “May They Rest Peacefully” this is the accurate description of her topic: How a nearly destroyed 1828 cemetery was saved, the story of Cheney Cemetery, Union County, Ohio and how to save, restore, and protect the burial places of our ancestors.
We apologize for any confusion.
Conference registration booklet.
We’ve received a few notes regarding not being able to find the registration booklet, or having trouble opening it.
On the OGS.org homepage, you will see the logo for the 2012 conference. It will state, “The registration booklet is now available.” If you don’t see it right away, wait, as this is a rotating home page and other screens become visible.
If you can’t open it in Internet Explorer, you may want to try Google Chrome, or FireFox. This isn’t an endorsement for these search engines, but another way to open the booklet.
This is also a reminder to get your hotel reservations quickly. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is having their induction the Saturday of conference. Make sure you have a room!
It has been learned that April 14th is the induction date at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Get your conference hotel reservations early!
The OGS conference registration booklet is now online! The full color booklet gives you information regarding conference hotel, directions to the hotel, complete day-by-day listing of the speakers with their topics, and information regarding the Thursday workshops as well.
The workshops are fee-based. Only those who sign up for a particular workshop, and have the corresponding ticket, will be allowed in the room. The room monitors will be checking each person’s ticket before entry.
The conference registration booklet was published in the last OGN. It will soon appear on the OGS website. The conference hotel is the Intercontinental Hotel, 9801 Carnegie Ave., Cleveland, OH.
This blog will begin featuring the speakers and topics at the conference within the next few weeks to get all of you ready for your wonderful time at the conference. We will also be posting tips and tricks to navigate the conference!
