Storytellers: Writing Family Stories (Classes)
10:00 am to 12:00 pm Friends in Deed, Room D, 301 E. Camino Casa Verde, Green Valley, AZ
Don't let your family stories or research get lost in time! Write stories to share with family and future generations.
This class is for SAGS members who enjoy writing the stories of their ancestors to share with family members and to pass to future generations. It is not a research, grammar, or punctuation class. There are assignments, in-class writing prompts, and time to share stories. We use pen/pencil and paper – no electronic writing devices. The class is limited to 15 and there is a reasonable commitment to attend each class, as others depend on your participation. This is not a drop-in SIG; you must register in advance to join the class. If you are interested, please contact Becky McCreary: rebeccamccreary764@gmail.com
Class Facilitator: Becky McCreary

SAGS Monthly Meeting (Monthly Meetings)
1:00 pm to 3:00 pm In-Person Meeting & Zoom Meeting -- Open to the Public
MAIN PROGRAM & SPEAKER:
Stories Behind the Stars: The World War II Fallen
During World War II, a banner with a gold star was presented to families of fallen servicepersons. The Stories Behind the Stars Initiative was created to organize one central digital location to collect the stories of all 421,000+ Americans who were killed during World War II. These stories will be digitally linked to all war memorials and cemeteries by a smartphone app so visitors can read the stories of the fallen. This national non-profit effort, researched, written and financially supported by all those who want to see the fallen remembered, will ensure future generations will be able to learn about the Americans who paid dearly for the freedoms we take for granted every day. OUR SPEAKER: Jackie Menasco is a retired science educator who lives in Peoria, Arizona. When Jackie retired after 40+ years in science education, she began researching and writing about her family history. After listening to a presentation about the "Stories Behind the Stars" about two years ago, she volunteered to help collect these stories. Since then she has researched and written 30+ life stories of soldiers killed in World War II.
SPECIAL ACTIVITIES FOR TODAY's MEETING: To mark the special topic of our program, the meeting will begin with "Posting the Colors" and raising the flag. At the conclusion of the meeting, there will be a flag folding – "Retriving of the Colors" – which will include the reading of what each fold in the flag represents. Today's meeting will also include voting by the membership, approval of the Bylaws, and election of the following officers: President, Vice President, and Treasurer.
MEETING INFO:
* Speaker: Ms. Menasco will be presenting "live" via Zoom. All other activies of the meeting will be live at the LaPosada Recreation Center.

Why It Matters to Family History SIG – MEMBERS ONLY (SIGs)

A series of topics examines some of the important issues facing family historians as they gain information about their ancestors. Each session will be a set of slides examining the topic, followed by open discussions. All sessions will be held via Zoom.
This month's topic is: Critical Thinking – Why It Matters
Just collecting records about an ancestor does not tell their story. If we do not analyze the information, we fail as genealogists and family historians. Does the information we collected make sense? How does it tell a story? Are there missing periods of time? We will discuss methods to help facilitate critical thinking.
Registration to attend each session is required – send an email to Deb Kabinier at debkabinier@gmail.com to register for each session. Several days prior to the meeting, you will receive an email that contains the Zoom link you'll need to attend.
