When: Saturday, January 11, 2025 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Where: Virtually via Zoom or in person at the CGS Library

Join this great SIG for a plethora of topics this January, including a new release, and all things cemetery, including citations (which some may find more frightening than a cemetery!).
