Heritage Day 2023

 
Heritage Day Cake
CCGS celebrated its 46th Anniversary at this year's Heritage Day Luncheon. On September 9th, new pioneers were added to our First Families and Century Families Societies.
Congratulations to members Laura Wood, Carol Brown and Paige Craig. For a list of First Family pioneers click here.
 
Our guest speaker Millie Henley's authentic costume and charming portrayal of Martha Washington was not only entertaining but very educational.
 
Thank you to our president Debra Geesner and vice-president Mary Allen for organizing the event. And thank you Judith Malinzak for the seasonal table decorations and serving as chair for the lineage societies. And a special thank you to those who made donations: Mary Allen, Carol Brown, Paige Craig, Judith & Bob Malinzak and Warren County Genealogical Society.
