AUCKLAND VOLUNTEERS – IT IS WORKDAY TIME AGAIN – TUESDAY 21 OCTOBER

Workdays at FRC are lots of fun. You get black sticky fingers from cutting and pasting newspaper articles all day. You have amazing conversations with other volunteers helping. You learn so much about how NZSG obtain and collate all the records that help with your research. You get to have a lovely lunch. If you have not been to a workday before, please come. You will be surprised how enjoyable it is. We will run from 10am to 4pm on Tuesday 21 October at the FRC in Panmure. But if you can only come for a couple of hours that is fine also - any help is appreciated. Please email nzsg.projects@genealogy.org.nz to let us know if we need to book you in for lunch. Looking forward to seeing you on the day.
