Fire Levels Paradise Genealogy Society Library - Can You Help?

Dear Librarians:  We have all talked about the what-ifs of not backing up our digital data, but truly, nothing prepares any one of us for a tragedy like what we saw when the Camp Fire swept through Paradise, California in November 2018.



I'm sure everyone remembers the headlines about the tragedy that hit Paradise, California last November, when a wild fire burned down the entire city. Hard hit by the devastation was the Paradise Genealogical Society who, like most of the residents in Paradise, lost everything. We are putting out a call to our membership, in concert with GFO, for donations of books, gift cards and money to help Paradise Genealogical Society rebuild their library. It's time to raid those book stashes and see if we can assist them in restocking their library shelves. Please bring donations down to the CCGS as soon as possible as GFO is planning a road trip to deliver donations in June. If you would like more information on the progress of the Paradise Genealogical Society, feel free to visit their website http://www.pargenso.org/ Thank you all for your help!
