Every Friday Noon Eastern/11am Central
Welcome! The GFHC Friday Open Thread is to provide a venue for any and all to bring their pesky questions and/or their geneo-detective experience & “expertise” to the community. This is not to say that we can’t all do that all week long anyway, in more topical or individual (story style) diaries, but if you’ve been waiting for an opening to pose a specific inquiry or topic, wait no more. Friday’s are wide open. Barge on in. No question too trivial or too hard … to ask. May or may not get an answer, lol, but it’s worth a shot, eh?
So tell us what's new in your neck of the geneological woods this week?
And... a couple of Step Up items after the squid.
* Our Friday Open Thread is in need of Volunteers to Host .... it's easy, it's fun. All of April / May is an open field! Will someone offer to host this next Friday April 15th (tax day isn't til April 18th!) Step up in comments below.
UPDATE: Thanks for volunteering to host ...
April 15th ::: larmos
April 22 ::: figbash
April 29 .... still available!
* Is there enough interest in our Group here to jump in with the Netroots for the Troups Group Challenge??? Please see today's Mojo Friday for the most current info. I'm sure most of us are active in other (larger) Groups on the site but I'd like this Group to consider it. We'd be one of the smallish Groups so the goal might be fairy easy. (hey! What do we win if we win??! heh)
To help us meet our goal, we've designed a fund-raising challenge that takes full advantage of the multitude of groups on Daily Kos. Is your group up for the challenge? There is no monetary reward or trophy, just bragging rights, prestige and the good feeling you get from contributing. We recognize that all groups are not created equally, so below you’ll find suggested group sizes and goals per group.
Group I: 15 members, $500
Group II: 16-30 members, $750
Group II: 31-50 members, $1200
Group IV: 51-75 members, $2000
Group V: 75-100 members, $3000
Step up!!
