We have had to change our plan to visit the Sons of the American Revolution Library on Tuesday, June 30.  Due to other events scheduled for that day, the library cannot accommodate us. Instead, we are returning to the Kentucky Department of Libraries and Archives at 300 Coffee Tree Rd., Frankfort, Kentucky.  As usual, please consult the KDLA website for rules, regulations, and general information.  You may request records to be pulled for you before you arrive.  The library opens at 9:00 am. 

If you need to carpool, please contact Donna Broster at donna.broster@gmail.com ahead of time.  If no one needs a ride, we will skip the church parking lot and go straight to Frankfort. I hope to see a bunch of you there!
