Are you ready to get together with your genealogy friends? PPGS has been researching ways for our members to meet and enjoy each other's company for a few hours. We are having a gathering for lunch on Wednesday, October 16, at Adams Mountain Cafe, 26 Manitou Ave., Manitou Srpings. This is the location between 30th St. and Highway 24.

 

We will meet at 11:30 a.m. and enjoy a scrumptious lunch and the company of like-minded genealogists. Everyone is responsible for paying for their meal and tip. There will be no official program or speaker. It will be a great time to catch up on what has been happening the last few years with folks we haven’t seen in a long time. We would like to invite all of you to join us for what we hope will be the first meeting for lunch and camaraderie.

 

 

Have you been wanting to get out in the sunshine and fresh air? October is a great month to take a walk and learn about genealogy while you are enjoying being outdoors. After you've enjoyed lunch at Adams Mountain Cafe, we'd like to invite you to join us in our first outing of the Cemetery Scavenger Hunters. Our purpose is to discover interesting items in local cemeteries. Each person will be given a list of things to look for, all of which are found on tombstones at the cemetery. Participation in the scavenger hunt is not required, but it is fun to look for the different things on the tombstones. Our first cemetery to search will be Crystal Valley Cemetery in Manitou Springs, just a five-minute drive from the lunch location. Come join us for a relaxing afternoon walking through the cemetery and the fun and thrill of the hunt.

 

 

Attend just the lunch, attend just the cemetery scavenger hunt, or attend both. RSVP no later than Monday, October 14, by clicking the following link and completing the questions. If clicking on the link doesn't work for you, just copy and paste it into your browser and that should take you to the form.
