Beltsville Briefs June 2022

The Beltsville Young at Heart Club

By Lois Hamilton

There was a lot of discussion among members at our last Young at Heart meeting about our by-laws. We’re considering how to change some of them to bring them more up to date. The last changes were in 2016, and much has changed since then.

We will not hold any meetings in July or August because the community center needs “our” room for their “Kid's Camp.” Our meeting in June is OK, but then we will not meet till September 15 at 11:00am at the Beltsville Community Center. We may be having our Anniversary potluck then, with entertainment.

Our November 17 meeting will be held in Laurel at the First United Methodist Church to celebrate Thanksgiving. More information later on this event.

I hope many will come out in June before vacation time, so you know who and what we are at Beltsville Young at Heart. Remember, “character is doing what’s right when nobody’s looking. “(J.C. Watts, Jr.)

Prince George’s Genealogical Society; Family Stories is Focus of Society Meeting

by Barbara Hopkins

The next meeting of the Prince George’s County Genealogical Society will look at the stories

many of our families pass down for generations. Often, these stories contain at least some true

facts. But what do you do when almost nothing is true? This program demonstrates how a 25-

year brick wall was broken down. Charles “Chuck” Mason, a Certified Genealogist who lectures

widely in the Washington, D.C. area, will be our speaker. For an invitation to our free virtual

meeting for Wednesday, June 1 at 7 p.m., email president@pgcgs.org.
