Our Points of Pride
We consider our monthly programs and our W.I.S.E.
Words
newsletter the principal products and responsibilities of our society.
These are the ways we serve our members as well as the wider genealogy
community. We take pride in the originality, energy and resourcefulness
that go into each.
W.I.S.E. Memorabilia
Lapel Pin - A
very attractive embossed enamel lapel pin, bearing the W.I.S.E
logo, is available to help preserve a lasting memory of your
affiliation with the W.I.S.E. Family History Society.
Book Bag - This very handy canvas book bag, printed with the
W.I.S.E. logo, is also available for those of you who need another set
of hands, or just need a place to put more "stuff."
If you are interested in obtaining one or more of the above W.I.S.E.

Membership Benefits . . .
W.I.S.E.
members enjoy a variety of activities which enrich their understanding
and enjoyment of family history research. Our monthly programs cover a
wide range of British and Irish subjects of interest to family
historians. Typical topics: the history and significance of tartans,
members' research trips to Britain and Ireland, the influence of the
Irish in Leadville, Websites for British Isles research, a musical
program by a Welsh singer.
Genealogy Friends
Perhaps
the most striking benefit of membership is the social relationships
which develop among fellow genealogists. We especially encourage active
membership by those who are new to the genealogy community and wish to
"get involved." We have learned that people who are just retiring from
their working lives have a great deal of energy and experience that
transfer beautifully to family history research and activities of our
society.
We're a Bargain
W.I.S.E. membership costs $12 a year per person;
$15 a year for a
household. Inclusive in the membership fee is a subscription to our
quarterly
newsletter, W.I.S.E. Words. Each household
receives an electronic copy of the newsletter each quarter by
email. For an additional $5 a year, members can receive a paper copy
via
U.S. Mail.
Our Newsletter
Our quarterly W.I.S.E.
Words newsletter
