Hi,If you are in the New England area and are looking for something to do Saturday April 22nd, there is going to be an important genealogy event in Marlborough, Massachusetts - the annual exhibit and meeting of the Massachusetts Genealogical Council.
I will be hosting a table at the event to promote the Boston/New England User Group and Legacy Software and will be demonstrating Legacy 6.
We will be raffling off 2 copies of Legacy 6 Deluxe. I will also have copies of
Legacy 6 standard edition CDs to give away if you have not upgraded yet.I encourage you to attend the event. I think you will find it a useful and productive day and the cost of the conference includes a continental breakfast and buffet lunch.
Here is a link to the registration form: http://home.comcast.net/~massgencouncil/MGC2006RegistrationForm_1_23.docI have attached below some updated details about the event. Please write if you have any questions.
