MCGS needs you! We are a 100% volunteer organization and we have many ways you can assist by volunteering with us. Here are some examples:

Board Members - Board Meetings are held once a month, virtually. If you're not sure what position you'd like to fill, consider joining as an At-Large member first.

Officers - The Leaders of our Board!

Monthly Meetings - When we meet in person, the room needs prepped, and we like to greet our visitors personally.

Special Projects - Recently we assisted the Missing In America project. Are you interested in tackling a One-Place Study or helping us transcribe records? Suggestions for future projects are very welcome.

Library & Mentorship - Share your expertise by assisting members and visitors who need advice.

Field Trips - Organize a trip to your favorite research venue; we're open to suggestions and would appreciate the coordination.

Sales - Help our Publicity chair with our Zazzle store, See's Candy fundraisers, and more.

Website - Found an error or have a suggestion for how to improve our site, please let us know!

Interested in any of the above or have additional ideas? Contact Vickie Settle, President
