EVENTS:

MEMBERSHIP MEETINGS:

      There are three membership meetings per year, with lunch and a guest speaker:
           - The Annual membership meeting is held in February in Colusa, usually on the nearest weekend
               to the founding anniversary of the Society on Feb. 18, 1950.
          - A Spring meeting is usually held in Glenn County in late April or early May.
          - A Fall meeting is usually held in Tehama County around October.

FIELD TRIPS:
     Several field trips are planned each year, sometimes in conjunction with a regular membership meeting, 
     and sometimes as a stand-alone event.

AMBASSADOR PROGRAM:
     Directors and members of the Society are invited to go out into the local communities to promote
     the Society at such events as the California Statehood Weekend, genealogical conferences,
     fairs, etc.  Contact Charles Martin or any other Director if you would like to participate in this
     activity.  We need more volunteers in this area.

OUR LAST MEETING IN RED BLUFF:

The Fall Membership Meeting was held at St. Peters Episcopal Church in Red Bluff on Oct. 8, 2011.
The program featured a walking tour of historical buildings, such as the I.O.O.F. Hall.
