Our August 2013 meeting will be a field trip to Richmond. We will have the opportunity to visit the Library of Virginia and the Museum of the Confederacy. Here are the particulars from the email sent out last week:

We need to be at the Library of Virginia for a tour at 9:00 am. Those who wish to car pool need to meet in the parking lot of the Rivanna Ridge Shopping Center closest to Sticks Restaurant. We will leave no later than 7:45 am to arrive at the Library at 9:00 am. The library is free except for parking and the charge for the museum is $15.00. There is no reservation for the museum so members can tour that on their own or with a group at a time they choose. (Note: Unless things have changed, parking is also free in the parking garage beneath the library, if you get your ticket validated while at the library.)

It is not too late to come if you wish. Just meet us in the Rivanna Ridge Shopping Center parking lot near Sticks Restaurant at 7:30 am Saturday or at the library at 9:00 am. If possible, please let me know if you have decided to come.

Meetings of the Central Virginia Genealogical Association are usually held on the second Saturday of each month at 1:30 p.m. at the Family History Center in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS Church). Visitors to CVGA meetings are always welcome.

Directions: The address of the LDS Church is 1275 Timberwood Blvd., on the corner of Airport Road and Timberwood. Coming from U.S. 29, the entrance is on the right (north) side of Airport Road immediately before you reach the church. Drive to the back of the building where you will see the entrance to the Family History Center.
